Budapest public transport e-ticketing trial to start in a month

An e-ticketing trial for Budapest public transport is set to be launched within a month and the system will be later expanded to cover the whole of Hungary, the state secretary in charge of national financial services and public utilities said on Tuesday. Cash-free ticket and transport pass purchases and e-ticketing will be among the most important elements of modern public transport, which the National Mobile Payment company is supporting, Edit Juhasz said at a symposium on mobile payments.
