Budapest Public transport in Budapest?
Posted: Sat May 24, 2008 06:59 AM UTC
Hi all

How can travel 7 year old child with Budapest public transport?
I have see that this is free for children up to 6 year and for 65+ people. For students ther is big discount for monthly passes, but for 7 year old children i haven't see anything?

We will be in Budapest for 7 days. Must i buy for him standard 7 day ticket without discount?
PS - We are me, my life and child.
Maybe family ticket or...?
Please, suggest us something.

All the ticket options available are listed here: http://www.bkv.hu/english/jegyek/index.html. Remove the last dot on the link.

You're staying for 7 days, but maybe you don't have to buy the 7-day card if you stay in a central area and have the highlights close. Or you could minimize the use of public transportation by grouping the sights that are close together and take the tram/bus/subway to one of them and walk to the rest. Sorry I can't be of much help.

There is also a cheap ( HUF 2000,- ) 2-day family ticket only for families, where the 6 to 14 years old children have got a valid hungarian student pass. One or two adult and at least one, but at most seven children together may take advantage of it.

If I remember correct that family ticket is only available now for Hungarian families. I tried to buy it with some Norwegians during a guided tour once, but the cashier lady said it was only for Hungarians....
