MÁV increases penalty fees for trains, buses, and HÉV

Starting November 2, the MÁV Group is increasing penalty fees for irregular travel on regional trains, Volán buses, and HÉV services. The standard penalty for traveling without a valid ticket, failing to prove eligibility for a discount, or violating transit rules will rise from 25,000 HUF to 30,000 HUF.

Other specific fee adjustments include:

On Volán bus services, penalties paid on-site or within three business days will increase from 12,000 HUF to 15,000 HUF. On HÉV services, the same 15,000 HUF rate applies if paid within two business days. Additionally, the fee for presenting a pass purchased on the day of the violation on HÉV services will rise from 6,500 HUF to 7,500 HUF. The 50,000 HUF penalty for payments made after thirty days remains unchanged.

MÁV reported that in the first nine months of the year, it collected significant revenue from penalties, including approximately 88.5 million HUF from trains, 97 million HUF from buses, and 53.5 million HUF from HÉV services.
