The Suburban Train System (HEV) of Budapest

Video Transcript

I'm Dante Mena, the author of the Adventure Hunger travel guide, and here on behalf of Expert Village. And we will learn a little bit more about how to get around in the city using the public transportation system. Well, now we have just come off of the metro at the Blaha Lujza ter. And we want to go to the HEV. The HEV, as I mentioned before, is a connection that will take us to outer areas of Budapest. And we are going to go over to the ticket area. We're going to meet first with Eric Guagenoffer. Director of tourism, here in Budapest, for the BKV transport system. Eric, I wanted to ask you one thing. Is it safe to travel on the metro system in Budapest. The Budapest metro system is one of the safest metro systems in the world, safer than New York. And now we're coming back over now to the HEV's station. You will notice that it says, "Penztar" at the top. The Penztar offices are at every metro entrance, and a person can buy a ticket for the local Budapest metro system. And they can also buy a connecting ticket for the HEV system; which is an extension of the BKV system, that takes you to the outer areas of Budapest. Hello, I would like a ticket for the HEV. How much is a ticket for the HEV? Four hundred-eighty. Ok. Thank you very much. Thank you. We are here at Batthyany ter. And behind me is the train for the HEV system. One of the trains is just now about to depart. The HEV system is an extension of the BKV system of the metro here in Budapest, and also of the bus system. Above me you can see that there are signs. These signs show the departure times, and they show the track number, on the right, and they also show the destination for the HEV trains. Have a good trip!
