The MÁV Group helps promote cycling tourism

According to their information, in this spirit, they provide bicycle transport options on almost all domestic railway lines, including the Budapest suburban and HÉV lines. They highly recommend the area around Lake Balaton, where the bike path around the lake provides an excellent opportunity to explore the lakeside settlements.

The railway company’s cycling sub-page has become more transparent and informative with expanded content and a clear theme: by raising awareness of the benefits of green transport, passengers are continuously informed about the possibilities of using the railway and HÉV bicycle offer with numerous recommendations and the presentation of discounts. In addition, information can also be obtained about the bicycle transport options on international flights, they listed.

They also drew attention to the fact that for InterCity, express and some InterRégió trains, in addition to the bicycle ticket (or bicycle country pass), a bicycle seat ticket must also be purchased, which can be purchased in advance in the MÁV application, on the www. jegy.mav.hu website, as well as at ticket offices and ticket machines.

Following the introduction of the tariff reform in March last year, bicycle tickets cost a uniform 500 forints regardless of distance, but for passengers who regularly transport bicycles, the railway company offers a Bicycle Country Pass, available for 4,950 forints and valid for 30 days, which allows you to travel freely around the country, as it is valid on the entire HÉV network in addition to MÁV and GYSEV services.
