Travelers in Budapest are being advised to use paper tickets for public transportation as the BudapestGO app is currently experiencing issues. This temporary suspension of the app's mobile ticket service has prompted the Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) to recommend the use of traditional paper tickets until the problem is resolved.
Temporary Suspension of BudapestGO App
The mobile ticket service in the BudapestGO app, along with other mobile ticket apps, is currently suspended. This means that new tickets or season tickets cannot be purchased through the app, and previously purchased products cannot be used. Passengers are advised to travel with paper tickets during this time.
Flexibility from MÁV and BKK Ticket Counters
To accommodate the situation, both MÁV and BKK ticket counters are being flexible. They are accepting old, expired tickets and season tickets for presentation. This allows passengers to still use these tickets until the issue with the BudapestGO app is resolved.
Using Paper Tickets
Travelers are encouraged to obtain paper tickets for their public transportation needs in Budapest. While the BudapestGO app is temporarily unavailable, paper tickets can be purchased and used without any issues.
