Budapest residents face increased parking costs starting July 1st, alongside the removal of parking payment automatons. A previously announced 25% discount for Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) season ticket holders, intended to be implemented through the BudapestGO application, will not be available. The city is transitioning away from automated payment machines, requiring users to utilize digital solutions. This change impacts potentially tens of thousands of commuters who were anticipating the fare reduction. The decision to abandon the app-based discount was not publicly explained. The price increase and discount cancellation are occurring simultaneously, adding to commuter concerns. This shift aims to modernize parking payment methods but leaves many BKK pass holders without the promised benefit.
