Briefly about the Hungary pass and County pass

Briefly about the Hungary pass and County pass configuration options:

In Hungary, you can buy both a Hungary pass and a County pass to use trains and interurban buses. Hungary has 19 counties. The 19 types of County passes (zone passes) can only be used within the area of the county. The Hungary pass (which costs the same as two county passes) is valid throughout the country on interurban buses and 2nd class trains. Passes can be purchased from any starting date and are valid for 30 days.

Please note: These passes can only be used on local transport (metros/trams/buses) in the following cities: Budapest, Csongrád, Esztergom Érd. Until 31st December 2024 Zalaegerszeg. They can be used on the TramTrain (lines 1 and 1A), in the Szeged area.

Special rules also apply to passes on trains with compulsory reservation. (e.g.: IC). 

It is now possible to buy a day ticket. With Hungary24 and County24 tickets you can travel 24 hours a day by train and interurban bus throughout the country. However, these day tickets do not allow you to use local transport anywhere (although you can use interurban services between stations within cities and the TramTrain in the Szeged area - lines 1 and 1A).

During the Hungarian Formula 1 Grand Prix, we recommend purchasing the Forma1 TravelPass. This pass can be used under the same conditions as the ’Pest Vármegye24’ ticket. You can use trains, suburban trains (HÉV) and regional buses in Budapest and Pest County (where the Hungaroring is located) for 24 hours. The Forma1 TravelPass is NOT valid for BKK vehicles in Budapest.

On trains, yellow buses, suburban trains: valid in Budapest and Pest county: Hungary pass, Hungary24, Pest county pass, Pest County24, Budapest pass valid only for travel within Budapest. On InterCity trains or on trains with a seat reservation within Budapest, all the above types are valid in 2nd class without a seat reservation, but outside Budapest only with the Hungary Pass and the Hungary24 with seat reservation.
On metro, trams and trolleybuses, all monthly season tickets are valid, but not the Hungary24 and County24 day tickets. On blue buses, all the season tickets and day tickets listed above are valid, but on buses operated by Budapest-BKK, the Hungary24 and County24 day tickets are not valid. None of the passes or day tickets are valid on the 100E airport shuttle, the Chairlift, the Funicular in Buda and the Children's Railway.
