BKK Centre for Budapest Transport has begun piloting a Pay&Go service on the Airport Shuttle Bus 100E, enabling passengers to ‘tap and go’.
The digital solution – a first in Hungary – has been launched in conjunction with Mastercard, electronic specialist Monet+ and K&H, one of the biggest commercial banks in Hungary, which is owned by the Brussels-based KBC Group.
The new digital service means that tickets can be purchased and validated onboard the Airport Shuttle Bus 100E, by simply tapping bankcards on the validator.

The solution is part of a bigger drive towards digitalisation
“BKK is committed to taking new steps in the field of digital developments, making public transport services more simple, attractive and competitive. Part of this customer-driven vision is the launch of the BudapestGO app, time-based digital tickets, modernisation of the TVM [Budapest public transport] network and even the use of the digital devices and solutions helping the work of ticket inspectors. The test launched jointly with Mastercard and K&H is part of this process of digitalisation,” said Dr Katalin Walter, CEO of BKK.
