Getting around by public transport

The public transportation system in Budapest is a favourite in-ternal travel option for a number of Budapest visitors The sys-tem is efficient inexpensive and runs throughout all of the ma-jor tourist areas of Budapest The system consists of a combi-nation of the bus trolley-bus tram metro and train lines andis streamlined so that tickets for all of them can generally bepurchased at the same locations

All regular transportation services stop around midnight(varies by route) However night buses (blue coloured busesmarked with black in the schedule numbered 900-999 andtram line 6) replace the metro lines major tram and bus routesand run through the night until normal service resumes in themorning Separate schedules for night and day buses areposted at every stop In the inner areas buses run very fre-quently (appr 10-15 min) Please note therersquos front doorboarding-only on most lines except tram 6 and articulatedbuses

Budapest currently has four metro lines - M1 (Yellow) M2(Red) M3 (Blue) and M4 (Green) The Yellow line is the old-est underground transportation line in continental Europe andretains much of its old-fashioned charm Lines M1 M2 and M3meet at Deaacutek Ferenc Teacuter in central Pest Line M4 opened on28 March 2014 and connects the Kelenfoumlld railway station lo-cated in Buda and the eastern Keleti station in Pest Trains runfrequently (2-5 minutes on weekdays 5 minutes on weekends10 minutes late night)

Budapest has an extensive system of above-ground tramsThe most useful lines for tourists are the famous 4 and 6which follow the large ring road that encircles the Budapest

city center and crosses Margaret bridge before terminating atSzeacutell Kaacutelmaacuten Teacuter on the Buda side on the North - and Petőfibridge before it terminates at Moacutericz Zsigmond Koumlrteacuter also onthe Buda side no 47 and 49 which runs through central Pestand across the river all the way to Kelenfoumlldi railway stationno 2 which follows the Danube River on the Pest side and no19 which follows the Danube River on the Buda Side

Bus lines of use to most tourists are the 7 and 107 which con-nect the busy Keleti railway station and the area around theKelenfoumlld railway station on the Buda side Some other no-table places that they stop along is Blaha Lujza teacuter (connec-tion to the red M2 metro line also trams 4 and 6) Ferenciektere (connection to metro line M3 also very near Vaacuteci utca)and in front of the Rudas bath and the Gelleacutert Hotel both onthe Buda side Bus 27 takes you to the top of Gelleacutert Hill fromMoacutericz Zsigmond koumlrteacuter while bus 26 connects Nyugati station(Metro line 3) and Aacuterpaacuted bridge (on the same metro line) viaMargaret Island

All public transport in Budapest is run by the company BKKConnections can be easily checked at httpwwwbkkhu

      All regular transportation services stop around midnight(varies by route) However night buses (blue coloured busesmarked with black in the schedule numbered 900-999 andtram line 6) replace the metro lines major tram and bus routesand run through the night until normal service resumes in themorning Separate schedules for night and day buses areposted at every stop In the inner areas buses run very fre-quently (appr 10-15 min) Please note therersquos front doorboarding-only on most lines except tram 6 and articulatedbuses

      Bus lines of use to most tourists are the 7 and 107 which con-nect the busy Keleti railway station and the area around theKelenfoumlld railway station on the Buda side Some other no-table places that they stop along is Blaha Lujza teacuter (connec-tion to the red M2 metro line also trams 4 and 6) Ferenciektere (connection to metro line M3 also very near Vaacuteci utca)and in front of the Rudas bath and the Gelleacutert Hotel both onthe Buda side Bus 27 takes you to the top of Gelleacutert Hill fromMoacutericz Zsigmond koumlrteacuter while bus 26 connects Nyugati station(Metro line 3) and Aacuterpaacuted bridge (on the same metro line) viaMargaret Island
