About this app

MOL Bubi is an environmentally friendly, fast and convenient mobility alternative in the city centre. Opt for the greenest means of public transport and use MOL Bubi!
Download the app, find a MOL Bubi bike at one of the 158 stations and you are ready to ride within a few seconds.
All this in the blink of an eye: once you have registered, you can choose the fare that best suits you, and then you will be able to read the news, give feedback, redeem a coupon or contact customer service directly.
Use the QR code scanner to pick up a bike or enter the 6-digit number seen on the rear of the bike or below the seat tube. The smart lock in the back will open with a loud click, and after the beep, you can start cycling. In the app, you can track how long you have been riding. When you are ready to finish cycling, just return the bike to any station and dock it into a free slot. Lock the bike by pressing down the lever on the smart lock until it clicks.

Ratings and reviews

This is a wonderful concept. The app and the bikes usually work fine. However, it is very difficult to get support if something goes wrong. I have been billed heavily where the bike had a faulty lock and the ride timer continued. The bike did not unlock even after repeated attempts from the app for ride start. I was also not able to end the ride with the locked bike. It has been more than a week, I am yet to get support. Due to this, my monthly subscription is also wasted :(

Easy to use and works fine! I'm just always sad that apps assume constant data connection, and wifi is of course not available at the docker stations. One more thing: if location is turned off (not everyone needs it and drains the battery like hell), then the map starts with a world-view. Not really useful for a service available only in Budapest...

monthly apss used to be 500 HUF - almost free, renewed every month, perfect. it was recently raised to 1000 HUF, which I think is still pretty cheap. However, it would have been nice to get notified about it, as well as at least a warning in the app that now passes don't renew, or at the very least a warning about not having a pass. I now apparently need to pay more than a monthly pass for one ride, while I was under the impression that my pass renewed, like it did for the past year or so.
