Bicycle pass

Bicycle pass

 

What are the rules for using this fare product?

It is valid for the on-board unlimited transport of one bicycle within the validity period. Passengers transporting a bicycle must also have a separate valid passenger pass or other document entitling them to free travel. If you are travelling with a ticket, you can only use a ticket to transport your bicycle, not a bicycle pass.

 

For what services is the pass valid?

For detailed information on the routes, vehicles and periods designated for bicycle transport, please see Bikes on board. The bicycle pass is valid within the administrative boundaries of Budapest. 

 

Ticket validation – paper tickets

No validation is required after purchase.

 

Ticket validation – mobile tickets

At front-door-only-policy vehicles, please scan the QR code or in case of using the BudapestGO app, touch your smart phone to the NFC sticker.

If the paper pass is damaged or the number of the photo ID has changed, it will be exchanged for a new pass of the same type and validity at the designated place for a handling fee, details here. It is forbidden to remove the barcode and the serial number from the pass. The pass will not be replaced if it is lost!
