What’s New for BudapestGO Users Starting November

From November, BudapestGO, the popular application of the Budapest Transport Center (BKK), will introduce exciting new features. Continuously responding to user feedback, BKK develops the app with the needs of its customers in mind.

Among the latest features arriving this month are dark mode, revamped in-app messages, and easier access to stop-specific schedules. With over 6 million downloads, this award-winning app continues to redefine urban mobility in Budapest. Below, we detail the improvements and how they will enhance user experience.

Dark Mode and Streamlined Schedule Access

One of the most prominent updates is the introduction of dark mode. Designed to align with users’ smartphone settings, this feature offers a more comfortable experience, especially at night.

For instance, if a user’s device automatically switches to dark mode after 10 PM, BudapestGO will seamlessly adapt. Additionally, users can manually enable or disable dark mode in the app via the “More” > “Display Mode” menu.

Accessing stop-specific schedules will also become simpler. Thanks to the latest updates, users can click on the “Schedule” icon during a search to see a list of routes departing from a chosen stop.

They can further refine the results by selecting a specific route. Similarly, in the map view, tapping on a stop icon will reveal a schedule icon. Clicking it will display the departure times for all routes from that stop, providing a more intuitive and user-friendly interface.

Enhanced In-App Messaging for Better Communication

Another noteworthy update is the overhaul of in-app messaging. Messages across multiple menu points will be redesigned to improve communication between BKK and users.

These updates aim to ensure that passengers stay informed about essential changes, such as traffic disruptions, ticketing updates, or new app features. The refreshed messaging system will make it easier for users to access relevant and timely information, enhancing the overall transit experience.

To benefit from these updates, users are encouraged to enable automatic updates in their smartphone’s settings. This ensures they always have access to the latest features without needing manual intervention.

Over 100 Million Routes Planned and Counting

BudapestGO’s popularity remains unmatched, with a growing number of users each month. On average, 1.4 million travelers actively use the app monthly, with 2.7 million registered users and over 6 million downloads.

Since its launch, passengers have planned over 100 million routes, with 4-4.5 million routes created monthly. The app has become indispensable for navigating Budapest and its surrounding areas.

A Step Forward in Urban Mobility

These latest improvements are part of BKK’s ongoing efforts to adapt to the evolving needs of commuters. By combining cutting-edge technology with user feedback, BudapestGO continues to set new standards for public transport applications.

Whether you are a daily commuter or a first-time visitor to Budapest, the app’s features ensure a seamless and efficient travel experience.

Why BudapestGO Stands Out

BudapestGO is more than just a transport app; it’s a tool that simplifies travel planning, saves time, and keeps passengers informed. The new updates underscore BKK’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, making BudapestGO an essential companion for anyone traveling within the city.

Make sure to update your app and take advantage of these exciting new features starting this November!
