Public transportation<br />
Budapest’s network <strong>of</strong> public transport services includes<br />
buses, trolleybuses, trams, underground trains (Metró)<br />
and above-ground suburban trains (HÉV).<br />
Tickets must be bought before boarding and are available<br />
at underground stations, <strong>new</strong>s kiosks, and from vending<br />
machines at many bus and tram stops. A <strong>new</strong> ticket has<br />

it into <strong>the</strong> slot in <strong>the</strong> small orange box situated near <strong>the</strong><br />
doors <strong>of</strong> buses, trolleybuses, trams and HÉV trains, and<br />
before <strong>the</strong> escalators at Metró stations. Ticket inspectors<br />
can ask to see tickets and passes on any vehicle and<br />
anywhere on <strong>the</strong> underground system, including after<br />
