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.

New features in the app:
- 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.

Great for finding the best travel route. very quick and easy to use and to track progress to destination. It always gave me the exact route number for bus, tram and metro and even the exit to take from the metro station. I bought tickets at the machine so can't comment on ticket purchase within the app, only ease of travel.

No possibility of paying for multiple people or to figure out how much do I have to pay easily for a trip from a specific location to another one, instead I have to figure out the complicated system on one trip fares or time ticket (which again is not possible to buy for multiple people). No payments with PayPal and Google pay.
