Budapest
Transport - Getting around Budapest
Budapest has an extensive, inexpensive and
efficient public transport system that includes the metro, trams,
buses, trolley buses and trains. Most transport runs until about
11.30pm after which there is a limited night bus and tram service
until about 5am. The metro is clean, safe and frequent, and
although there are only three lines it reaches most areas of
interest to tourists. Trams are good for travelling around the
Great Boulevard or along the embankment; trolleybuses (electric
buses) operate in Pest; and although more difficult to use, buses
are useful for journeys that can't be made by metro, especially
around Buda. There are regular incidents of pick pocketing on buses
and metro lines though, particularly when they are crowded. An
overground HÉV train network services the outer suburbs. One of the
few ways to reach the Castle District other than on foot is by
means of a funicular from Clark Ádám tér. All
forms of public transport require the self-validation of
pre-purchased tickets, which can get complicated; it is best to get
a travel pass for convenience that will also save money. Day or
multi-day passes are inexpensive and hassle-free, although the
tourist Budapest Card combining three days of
travel with discounted attractions isn't all that good value.
Budapest's taxis have a reputation for cheating foreigners and
visitors are warned not to do business with private, unmarked
vehicles that hang around stations. Legal taxis should have a
yellow number plate, clearly display their rates and have a meter
that is switched on. It is cheaper to order one by phone from
reputable companies such as Citytaxi, Fo Taxi or
Tele-5-Taxi.
