About this app

The FUTÁR application by BKK Centre for Budapest Transport has been renewed under the name BudapestGO, which, in addition to real-time route planning, has been extended with new functions: you can buy digital single tickets, daily and weekly travelcards or passes in the application and you can also be informed immediately about the current transport service changes. You can use the route planner with a cleaner and clearer interface, facilitated by a number of new features.

- Ticket and pass purchase, journey planning in a single app
- Digital single ticket now also available
- Automatic pass renewal
- Traffic information (BKK Info application integrated)
- Personalised transport updates via push message
- Trip planning for trains and suburban railways available with a BKK-pass
- Simplified interface
- You can buy local or intercity tickets and passes for most municipalities in Hungary.

Ratings and reviews

App is inconsistent; twice it would not validate monthly passes when boarding a bus, and once it randomly thought my pass was attached to another device (I don't have another device). Walking home with a 4 year old wasn't fun. Fare apps need to be 100% consistent and this app just isn't. Stick with paper passes and tickets unless you want to risk being kicked off at the bus stop.

I didn't experience any problems, the UX is user friendly, everything is clear. One thing that I would add is to provide an info somewhere next to "Airport ticket" that it is for the line 100E (I was not 100% sure whether this is the right ticket to buy for 100E or if there os another airport shuttle). Anyway, very convenient way to buy tickets.

Before the update I absolutely loved it, it was very well done, it didn't crash, you didn't need to sign in. Trip planning and searching was easier. The design might be more modern but that doesn't matter since everything else is worse. For a foreigner who spends a lot of her time in Budapest but doesn't know the city that well the previous version was better. I can't even imagine then how it is for other people who don't know their way around the city to use this.
