Everything you need to know about the new journey planner, BudapestGO!
Change language:
Thanks to digitalisation, a new era is beginning in Budapest’s public transport. The FUTÁR app is replaced from now on by the BudapestGO app. The new app is not only a journey planner; it is more than that. Journey planning, ticket and pass sales and real-time information on the actual transport situations are integrated into the new app.
BKK’s journey planner under the name of BudapestGO is fundamentally renewed: by introducing several comfort functions, the popular app has moved on to a higher level. The new app developed for months is not only about renaming the former app. Such a digital service has been developed, which follows users from the very first thought of their trip via journey planning and ticket or pass purchase to the very last step they take during their trip.
- It goes even beyond that.
New and further developed functions
BKK considers it important that passengers getting about in the Hungarian capital could organise their errands the most convenient and simplest possible way. To do so, BudapestGO provides the best solution, as due to its new functions, it provides much more than an average journey planner. The new app’s most useful functions are, as follows:
Ticket and pass sales in the app; with the addition of the already-available digital single ticket
Tickets and passes are available anytime with just a few simple clicks in the app. The single ticket to be used for a single trip and from March even the 30-minute and 90-minute time-based tickets will be available among the digital products.
Ticket and pass sales for nearly anywhere in Hungary
Not only for Budapest’s public transport lines, but also for regional buses and local public transport lines of every major urban settlement in Hungary will passengers be able to purchase tickets, passes via the app. Thanks to the BudapestGO app, passengers who wish to travel outside of Budapest are not required to download further apps or to find ticket vending machines.
Automatic renewal of the monthly pass
In the future, neither queuing in a Customer Service Centre or at a ticket vending machine, nor dedicating your attention continuously to your smart phone each month will be required to get the Budapest-passes. The BudapestGO app allows BKK’s customers to automatically purchase their monthly pass each month on a continuous basis, similarly to a subscription-based service. They can unsubscribe from this service with one click.
More transparent interface, quicker journey planning
In the app, timetables can be used more simply and journey planning is more transparent. Vehicles can be switched on and off on the map with one click. Passengers can select even whether the app should plan their trip with less transfers or walking. The planning of unique, fast routes can be set and also the saved addresses can be managed more easily.
