Budapest’s transport company, BKK, is to test a new payment system on the shuttle bus connecting the downtown of the Hungarian capital with the Liszt Ferenc International Airport, abbreviated as Budapest Airport. New payment system Mastercard and K&H Bank are joining BKK in testing a brand new digital payment and ticket validation system, already successfully operating in several Western cities. The testing will only concern the Budapest Airport express shuttle bus number 100E. The digital solution is contactless.

The change means you will not have to buy a shuttle bus offline or online ticket from 20 June. Instead, you can buy and validate your digital voucher with your bank or credit card, smartphone or smartwatch via a terminal. The voucher price will be deducted from your account immediately.
