Welcome to budapest

Dear EMTA Members and CIPTEC Consortium Meeting Participants,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Budapest, Hungary. BKK Centre for Budapest Transport, the mobility manager of the city, is proud to host the joint EMTA General Meeting and CIPTEC Project Consortium Meeting.

The Hungarian capital has always played a leading role in the history of public transport: the first underground railway line on mainland Europe was opened here in 1896 and the predecessor of the current tram network, the horse-drawn tram celebrates its 150th birthday this year. Today, Budapest is home of the longest tram in the world and also of the first automated metro line in Central Europe, we can also boast the largest articulated diesel-hybrid bus fleets among European capitals.

We will also be happy to showcase some of the recent innovations, such as the MOL Bubi public bike-sharing system, the future automated fare collection system and the FUTÁR public transport vehicle fleet location and passenger information system.

I trust that you will plan to extend your stay for the weekend to explore the city further or return soon for a visit to enjoy the sights, vintage public transport rides, thermals baths and the gastronomy along with fine wines. Perhaps you will be inspired to come back to enjoy the FINA World Aquatics Championships to be held in Budapest between 14 and 30 July 2017.

Have a fruitful meeting and an enjoyable time!

Kálmán Dabóczi PhDCEO

sIte VIsIts from 15:30 on WednesdaY 11 maY 2016

Automated metro line M4

The new metro line M4 started operation in the spring of 2014 on a track length of 7.3 km with 10 stations. The new line is served by driverless Alstom vehicles with a top speed of 80 km/h. Participants of this site visit will have a better look at two spectacular stations called Fővám tér and Szent Gellért tér station. These two stations won the first prize on Architizer A+ Awards in 2014. Expected number of participants: 15-20

MOL Bubi public bike-sharing scheme

The Budapest public bike-sharing scheme was launched in September 2014 with 1,100 bikes and 76 docking stations. Due to its huge success, the system was extended by a further 100 bikes and 22 docking stations. During this active site visit, participants will get a chance to dive into real urban road transport in the saddles of MOL Bubi bikes and have a better insight into the newly implemented bike infrastructure elements. Expected number of participants: 10

Interconnected tram network in Buda and the reconstructed Széll Kálmán tér

In the framework of this site visit, participants will get a better insight into the results of the largest recent tram network project of Budapest. This project included the refurbishment of existing tram line 17, the construction of the missing connections and the reconstruction of the public space at Széll Kálmán tér, and the implementation of new connections in the network along the embankment of the Danube. Expected number of participants: 15-20

FUTÁR dispatch centre

FUTÁR is the first GPS-based fleet navigation and passenger information system in Budapest. The system provides real-time information to passengers through displays at public transport stops and on board vehicles, and via a mobile application for journey planning. For participants interested in ITS solutions, BKK will introduce the technical details of the system at the FUTÁR dispatch centre. Expected number of participants: 20

Wayfinding challenge

This exciting site visit will be organised for those participants who would like to do some activity in the city of Budapest. Small groups of 5-6 people will take part in a competition, with an aim to reach the best use of the public transport system. Teams will collect points based on the number of used modes of transport, lines, transfers, taken pictures and comments. Expected number of participants: 10-15

practIcal guIde to budapest publIc trasportBKK Centre for Budapest Transport is the mobility manager of the Hungarian capital whose main tasks, besides organising public transport services, are to meet and dynamically coordinate travel demand of the different transport modes and to coordinate the implementation of developments on behalf of the Municipality of Budapest. BKK’s key objective is to provide intermodality between the different transport modes along with the information required for journey planning.

BKK orders public transport services – such as tram and bus lines – from the different service providers, plans the transport network, sells and inspects tickets and passes and also provides passenger information.

As the activities of BKK are quite diverse and extensive, practically everybody who participates in some form of transport is a customer of BKK: Budapest residents as well as visitors from abroad or from other parts of Hungary using public transport or walking, riding a MOL Bubi bike or driving.

publIc transport In budapest

Hév (suburban railway) lines serve metropolitan areas of Budapest. Line H5 will take you to charming Szentendre and the Danube Bend, to Aquincum with its Roman ruins and to Óbuda Island, the venue of the popular Sziget Festival. Line H6 connects the southern suburbs with a terminus in Ráckeve, on the southern tip of Csepel Island while Line H7 operates within Budapest city boundaries only and provides the city-centre connection for Csepel (District 21). Line H8 and H9 run in an easterly direction from the city and terminate at Gödöllő, known for its Royal Palace, and Csömör, respectively. Extension tickets are required for the route sections outside of the city boundaries, which are not covered by your tickets, travelcards or passes.

World Heritage metro line M1, the oldest underground railway on Continental Europe was constructed in 1896. The line starts at Vörösmarty tér in the city centre and runs underneath Andrássy út serving the Opera, Hősök tere (Heroes’ square) and Városliget (City Park). Metro line M2 connects Déli pályaudvar in Buda and Örs vezér tere in Pest through the City centre in an east-west direction. A major train station, Keleti pályaudvar, is located along this metro line. Metro line M3 runs between Újpest-Központ and Kőbánya-Kispest stations on the Pest side of

the city. Nyugati pályaudvar train station, Népliget national and international bus terminal as well as Kőbánya-Kispest station, where Bus 200E arrives from Liszt Ferenc International Airport, are located along this line. Metro line M4, the newest metro line in Budapest with spacious stations, connects Kelenföld

Railway Station in South Buda and Keleti Railway Station. The Great Market Hall at Fővám tér and Gellért Thermal Bath are served by this line.

The tram network is one of the most extensive ones in Europe and the yellow vehicles form a typical part of the Budapest cityscape. Lines 4 and 6 serve the busiest tram route in Budapest along the Grand Boulevard. Tram lines 1 and 3 are also among the key lines while the interconnected tram network in Buda provides direct links between different areas of that part of the city. One of the most beautiful tramlines in the world, tram 2 runs on a picturesque route along the river Danube in Pest. Line 2 along with lines 19 and 41 are significantly important for tourists.

The wide-ranging Budapest bus network of more than 200 lines provides frequent access to the city centre from almost anywhere within and outside of the city. Express services that do not serve all stops on the route are available to some areas. More than half of the fleet are accessible, low-floor vehicles. On some services the front-door boarding only policy applies as indicated by a pictogram on the timetable at the stop.

The red trolleybuses serve the inner city on the flat Pest side of the city and the Zugló area. A fleet of more than 100 environmentally friendly, quiet and electrically powered vehicles greatly contribute to the reduction of air pollution in the densely populated parts of the city.

Night bus services run through the night until regular service resumes at dawn. Separate schedules for night and day buses are posted at the relevant stops. A major hub for night bus lines is Astoria. Boarding at night is possible only through the front door on single buses while ticket inspection is carried out at every door on board articulated vehicles. Additionally, tram 6 operates all night on the Grand Boulevard.

Average daytime operation:

04:30−23:50

Line numbering 1–299

Average night-time operation:

23:50−04:30

ValIdItatIon of tIcKets and passesSingle tickets entitle passengers to one uninterrupted trip on the whole length of the line, but on the suburban railways only within the city boundaries. With the exception of travelling on the metro network, single tickets do not allow changes between lines. Tickets are valid for 80 minutes (120 minutes on night services) after stamping.

TicketsTickets (except for suburban railway, boat and ferry tickets) need to be validated by stamping or punching prior to the start of travel on metro lines M1, M2, M3 and M4, on other vehicles – on suburban trains within Budapest – immediately after boarding or departure. Boat and ferry tickets are validated by the crew while suburban railway extension tickets require no validation after purchase.

Travelcards and passesTravelcards and passes require no validation after purchase and allow unlimited trips within the indicated validity period.

Metro stationsThe validating machines located at the entrance of metro stations stamp the starting time of your trip onto your ticket.

Trams, trolleybuses, buses and suburban railway trains have two types of validators:

1. Red, manual validatorsPlease insert your ticket into the opening on top and punch it by pulling the black frame of the slot towards you.2. The orange- or yellow-coloured electric devicesPlease insert your ticket into the opening on the front for automatic validation. A light indicates on the front of the machine if it is operational

If you cross the city boundaries by suburban railway or a regional bus service, please remember to purchase an extension ticket or a metropolitan area single ticket as Budapest-passes are valid only within the city on the suburban railways and regional buses. Single tickets, on the other hand, are valid on the full length of lines even if they leave the city and serve the metropolitan area.

rules to Keep In mInd

The front-door boarding only policy applies on most bus lines as indicated by a sign “Felszállás az első ajtón”. Please validate your ticket as soon as you get on or show your pass or travel document to the driver when boarding and use the rear doors to get off.

Doors will not open automatically on all vehicles. On vehicles with a button next to the door, please push the opener to get on.

On most vehicles, when you wish to get off, please push the stop request („Leszállásjelző”) button near the door well in advance.

Please use the rear doors for getting off from buses and trolleybuses.

Please do not approach the platform edge until the metro or suburban train has fully stopped at the station.

Please stand on the right when riding escalators at metro stations, so as to let other passengers safely pass you on the left.

On board some vehicles, infrared sensors detect if someone or something blocks the door. Please stand clear of the area marked yellow, otherwise the doors will open automatically.

Small pets and dogs in a carry-box travel for free. Larger dogs may travel only muzzled, on a lead and also require an extra ticket or dog pass. We recommend the dog pass if you frequently travel together.

mol bubI publIc bIKe-sHarIng sYstem

The majority of Budapest tourist attractions are located in the city centre. The fastest and most environmentally friendly transport mode to see the sights is riding a bicycle of the MOL Bubi public bike-sharing system. Terminals are found at 98 points throughout the city. The 1,150 apple-green bikes can be used with a MOL Bubi ticket or pass around the clock, every day of the week. Tickets are available from touchscreen terminals, through the MOL Bubi website at molbubi.bkk.hu or via the MOL Bubi application, while passes are on sale at BKK customer service centres, online and via the MOL Bubi application.

Metro line M1, also known as the Millennium Underground, was the first underground railway on Continental Europe and as such it is of the most significant sights of the Hungarian capital and at the same time it is still an important form of transport. The underground opened in 1896, the year of millennial celebrations commemorating the arrival of the Magyar people to their present homeland in the Carpathian Basin. Franz Joseph, who was both King of Hungary and Emperor of Austria as ruler of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time, travelled on the underground in his own imperial carriage. Most part of the line’s route runs underneath Andrássy út, the scenic avenue connecting major sights, such as the Opera House and Heroes Square (Hősök tere) and Széchenyi Thermal Bath in the City Park (Városliget). The stations at Vörösmarty tér and along Andrássy út are covered with tiles manufactured at the Zsolnay factory in Pécs, a historic city in South Hungary, and reflect a fin-de-siècle atmosphere, while at the old Deák Ferenc tér station, the Underground Railway Museum tells the story of the past and some of the original, 120-year-old vehicles are on display. At the exhibition installed at the former station, visitors can get a glimpse of the beginning of the last century and can also admire a millennial underground car. Metro line M1 along with Andrássy út became official World Heritage Sites in 2002. More information at: bkk.hu/kisfoldalatti

The Cogwheel Railway was the fifth of its kind built in Europe and opened on 24 June 1874. The railway transports passengers between the Városmajor park, near Széll Kálmán tér in the heart of Buda, and Széchenyi-hegy in the Buda Hills. The vehicles run on a track of almost 4 km, covering a difference in elevation of 315 metres. The single-track route has bypass-stations to assist the passing of trains coming from opposite directions. The transportation of bicycles is possible on the cogwheel railway in designated cars for the price of a single ticket. More information: bkk.hu/fogaskereku

The Buda side of the city is rich in natural beauty. The highest peak in Budapest, János-hegy at 527 metres, and the Erzsébet Lookout Tower are popular tourist destinations. The easiest way to get to the top of the hill is by the picturesque ropeway, the Chairlift, which opened in 1970 and continues to transport passengers from Zugliget to János-hegy or the other way round down to the valley, with chairs floating above gardens, trees and rock cliffs. The valley station of the chairlift is best reached by bus 291 departing from Nyugati pályaudvar. Tickets are purchasable from the ticket machines on site. More information: bkk.hu/libego

The original steam-powered funicular connecting Clark Ádám tér and Buda Royal Castle was constructed in 1870. This special form of transportation quickly became popular especially with people working in the castle, for whom the funicular was the only comfortable way of getting up castle hill. Unfortunately, the funicular was destroyed during the Second World War. Reconstruction took place only in 1986. The authentically renovated vehicles offer splendid views over the Chain Bridge (Lánchíd), the riverbank and central Pest. Funicular cars “Margit” and “Gellért” run along the almost 100-metre-long track covering a difference in elevation of more than 50 metres. The Buda Castle Funicular is featured on the World Heritage List as one of the elements of the Banks of the Danube. More information: bkk.hu/siklo

On the section of the river Danube within Budapest, scheduled public transport boats serve numerous piers located on both the Buda and Pest banks of the river. Line D11 terminates in Újpest, while D12 and weekend-only service D13 operate to Rómaifürdő. On workdays, boat tickets, the different travelcards and also Budapest-passes are valid for boat services, but at weekends only the dedicated tickets for public transport boats are accepted for travel.

Vintage trams – such as an almost 100-year-old wooden-framed vehicle – operate on the most beautiful tram lines (e.g. lines 2 and 61) from spring to autumn. A vintage suburban train departing from Örs vezér tere will take you Gödöllő, a small town near Budapest, where a famous palace is well worth a visit. From time to time, an old Hungarian-made Ikarus type bus and a refurbished Soviet-made ZiU trolleybus are in service providing much pleasure to heritage and transport lovers. Dedicated heritage transport tickets or passes are required for the vintage lines running at weekends. More information: bkk.hu/nosztalgia

Several types of trams, trolleybuses, buses, metro cars and suburban trains have served the transport needs of the Hungarian capital’s inhabitants over the past 150 years. Two exhibitions await those interested in the vehicles and history of public transport in Budapest. At the Public Transport Museum in the quaint town of Szentendre, easily reached by suburban railway from Buda, visitors can get familiar with the development of the Budapest public transport network and can also admire some 60 renovated vehicles. Back in Budapest at the city centre, the Underground Railway Museum, situated at the Deák Ferenc tér pedestrian underpass, presents the history of metro transport along with former cars of the first underground railway on Mainland Europe.
