 '''Budapest''' is the capital of [[Hungary]]. It   == Hitching in == If your driver is often abbreviated as BPonly going around Budapest on the ring road, and not entering the city, the best exit points are Dabas-Soroksár (close to M5, south-east) from which you can take a bus to Népliget, and Dunakeszi-Újpest (close to M2, north) from which you can take bus 104. Dabas-Soroksár is easier the exit from the M5 to the local road number 5. If you get from the highway onto the 5, walk or ask the driver to see for car drivers on bring you 2km in direction of the city center (towards the M51). After you pass the M51 there will be a [[sign]]MOL petrol station. Behind the petrol station is the bus number 66.

It is at the very beginning of the motorway that splits after a few kms into motorways M1 and M7. Some cars stop here only for the McD, so positioning yourself somewhere at the exit and thumbing or holding a sign works well. Asking around at the gas station is even better, ignore the clerks telling you should to thumb. There is another petrol station around 200m down the road, but it gets so little traffic that it is not worth going there. Ways to get there: # Take bus 8E from ''Keleti pályaudvar'' (Keleti train station) in the direction of Kelenföld vasútállomás M, (and change at BAH-csomópont for bus 139), or take a bus #272 139 from ''Kosztolányi Dezső Széll Kálmán tér'' or in the direction of Gazdagréti tér, and get off at ''Sasadi Nagyszeben út'' (not Nagyszeben tér!). Walk back 100m east in the direction the bus came from along Budaörsi út and you will see the OMV petrol station and McD on the right. # Take metro 4 from ''Keleti pályaudvar'' to the last stop ''Budaörs, benzinkútKelenföld vasútállomás''.

Cross the main road and turn left and walk west for 250m along Budaörsi út till you reach the Agip service OMV petrol station with / McD. '''Personal experiences''' ''A friend and I wanted to hitchhike to Vienna from here. Upon arriving, we encountered a lot couple of other hitchhikers going to Balaton. We found a single seat going to Vienna within 30 mins. Upon speaking to the other hitchhikers, I found them a ride within five minutes by asking at the gas station. Another hitchhiker arrived and together we found a ride to the Austrian border within an hour. - [[User:Rebew|Rebew]] (Aug. 2021)'' ''I was able to get a ride in under an hour going to directly to Vienna. It was early morning so there wasn't that much traffic (1 car every 2-3 minutes) but seems like a good spot. I think it's worth holding out for a ride across the border if you don't want to both motorwaysend up in Western Hungary somewhere. I had a sign saying "Wien" but the ride was from a Hungarian. - [[User:AloysiusDente|AloysiusDente]] (March 2024)''

This OMV gas station can also be reached by taking bus number 54 or 55. They ride more often than number 84E Starting from inside the city (84E goes only once or twice per hourbetween Moszkva tér and Kelenföld)is a possibility worth trying, especially because there are some good spots that are quite popular among local hitchhikers.

Walk forward (East) 200 meters straight for 75 m and then turn left on the street ''Gyáli út''. After about 150 m there is a curve in the road, turn right there and walk to the ramp which leads motorway (it's not yet a motorway officially, so you can hitchhike there). There is no road or pavement leading there, but it's easy to cross. You will see a roundabouthalf complete ramp on your right going on the motorway. It has an exit 's basicaly a 100 meters long lane with no traffic on it, it's ideal for cars to M6stop, and you are also visible from a long distance. Hithhiking As of January 2017, there is some construction which leaves no space for stopping except on the exit lane of the best optionpetrol station nearby.The spot still worked quite well

The whole trip should be around Take tram 4 or 6 to ''Boráros tér'', then take bus 54 or 55 to the stop ''Radnó utca''. There is a petrol station on the other side of the noise barrier wall. You could also thumb at the bus stop on the bus-only lane. If you want to go any further, option 3-4 hoursis about 800 meters down the road.

=== M3''I got a ride to a rest station near Kecskemét within 30 minutes. My driver told me that thumbing at the bus station would've been a better idea. Kecskemét was good to hitchhike, E60 East towards [[Clujbut the tourists are annoying.

The entrance can work fine, however you can ask drivers at the station, not the best place, but it works.# In August 2009 in Astoria someone found only bus [http://www.bkv.hu/english/busz/173evissza.html #173E] and it goes same direction [as suggested trolleybus before]. Exit at the last stop (Újpalota, Nyírpalota út) and walk a big street on your left for about 10 minutes, check the signs and exit to [[M5 motorway]].

Here you can start to hitch (you should see a Citroen car lot on the other side of the road. A sign "Szeged" is useful. If you take bus 84E, you can continue straight onto the motorway to a OMV petrol station that you can hitch from. (This information is unconfirmed; maybe this is the OMV in option 2.)

Take metro line 3 to the end of the line where you will find a bus ==== Option 4: Motorway service station. Take the airport bus, it will stop at terminal 1, stay on the bus until the second to last stop before the airport. You will notice that the city ends quite abruptly, prior to this you will see a petrol station, this is the last petrol station for at least 10-15 km. From the second to last bus stop you will have to walk back to this station. There is no good place to hitch after this point for around 10-15km as the road is motorway. Later on there are more hitching opportunities and its easy to get dropped off somewhere useful. Alternatively outside terminal 1 of the airport is as good as most roadside locations however its probable that a only a proportion of traffic is travelling right out of the city.M5 Inárcs ====

From Pipa st. you'll be on can see the intersection sign of Vaci ut the petrol station in the distance, and it will help you to navigate. The motorway only has two lanes and Foti utcars are going pretty slow, so it's not a problem to cross it. Once you have get there its great spot to catch a bus stop long drive! You can be picky, so best wait for someone going straight to Poland because once you get to the Slovak border, the road is getting bad and then behind that this is your best shot.  If you're heading to [[Poland]], you have an old abandoned bus stop with 'd most likely be better off finding a huge space for anything direct lift to stopPoland from the Hungarian- Slovak border rather than getting short lifts through Slovakia.

The old "I didn't know I had Budapest has an extensive public transportation system consisting of a metro, buses and trams. A single ticket is about 1.15 (a set of 10 tickets is about EUR 9.90). After you buy your ticket, you have to validate the it. There are red machines on buses and trams that punch a hole in a different place on your ticket each day, which is how they determine if you validated your ticket" thing will that day (or at least not work with an inspectorthe day before...).  Inspections on buses and trams are rare except for the most popular lines (e.g. The Hungarian transportation system is going bankrupt buses 7, 7E, 173 and 173E and they need those finestrams 2 (very frequent), so 4 and 6). Rush hours are usually safe when the trams/buses are too crowded for the inspectors can to walk through the vehicles. If you want to be quite insistent but safe, hang around the machine and if you shouldn't let yourself see an inspector coming, punch your ticket immediately. You can usually also get frightenedoff the carriage when you see inspectors getting on as usually at least some of them will wear uniforms.

On Be careful: the underground there are inspectors posted at system has changed, and the entrance to the platforms during all operational hours who will demand to see your ticket. Most of the time they check those who controllers are entering and don't bother often escorted with people a public area inspector who are leaving has the platform (e.g. Keleti Railwaystation is one exception), so if right to stop you see no conductors at the entrance then you are fine. Either you take and demand for your chance that there will be no checking at the exit, or take the bus/tram, you can get pretty much everywhere without the metroID cards.'

Inspectors In the metro there are inspectors posted at the entrance to the platforms during all operational hours who will demand to see your ticket. Most of the time they check those who are rare on buses entering and trams except for don't bother with people who are leaving the most popular lines e.gplatform (Keleti railway station is one notable exception), so if you see no conductors at the entrance then you are fine. tram Either you take your chance that there will be no. 4-6. Rush hours are usually safe when checking at the exit, or take the tramsbus/buses are too crowded for tram, you can get pretty much everywhere without the metro. Oftentimes you can also just walk past these inspectors to walk through at the vehiclesentrance or flash them a used ticket without stopping. Be careful changing lines at Deák Ferenc tér, usually there are controllers on stations of Line 2 and 3.

If you get caught without a valid ticket, the official fine on the spot is 6000 HUF8,000, which is about 20 EUR27. Do not let you yourself be fooled with other another amount, it is 6000 HUF8,000, and the received paper is valid for travelling that day. But if you are cool enough you can get away without paying at all. On the trams and buses the inspectors legally aren't allowed to touch you. Avoid speaking English or German to the controllers. Instead, pick the most obscure language you know and keep them busy until the next stop. When the doors open, simply exit the tram and walk away. Never give the controllers your ID or passport. Maybe try searching for it or your ticket until the next stop, then get off the tram/bus then. Some of the controllers will try to take you to a cash machine if you say you have no money. Same system applies - simply walk away from the controller. I've also heard of people stalling the controller for so long that the controller gets bored and walks away.

On buses and trams At around 20:30 or later, the ticket inspectors that stand at the entrance to the metro go home, meaning you can get on the metro for free. Be aware also that if they have controls while you exit the following options if station, they announce it as you get caught:Refuse to pay saying off the train and again every 2 minutes or so ("Please have your tickets ready for inspection as you have no money leave the station.") If this happens, simply get back on you the next train and get off a stop before or after your chosen stop. Do not try and refuse to give them run past any ID/passport inspectors if they have a control -- they are notoriously aggressive and will have no legal right problem chasing you. On the green line there are security guards stationed on the platforms, but don't worry, they won't check your tickets. They're just a security precaution. The same thing applies on tram 4 or 6 at night (they run 24 hours). They will stand at some entrances to demand it the tram and check peoples' tickets as they enter the tram (They'll be wearing either a yellow vest or arrest a green armband.) Choose a different entrance and you or anything'll be fine, only because the policecontrollers stand at one door and don't move through the tram. Sometimes they try  For finding connections between two points in the city, there's a very good route planner available also in English: [http://www.bkk.hu/en/timetables/ http://www.bkk.hu/en ] There is a [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0373981/ very good Hungarian movie] about the controllers on Budapest's public transportation. Finding English subtitles is easy, too.  == Sleeping == If you want to threaten sleep outside in summer, you saying they'll call can do so anywhere in Buda hills. These places are abandoned after dark, far from people, and sometimes used by homeless people.  In case the weather outside is not very warm nor welcoming, the police but that has never happened yetmall Duna Plaza, in the northern part of the police will city XIII district, metro stop Gyongyosi utza offer great opportunities to find a shelter and not bother being discovered by security guards. In a cold night of november I found a perfect spot to turn up every time someone tries lay down on his mat and sleep, behind the high bar of a closed (but open..) pub on the 2nd floor, next to jump the tramrestaurants, emergency exit stairs on the back, at the highest floors are also a good option. If Toilets are closed at night and security go around to check when they donclose the building around 02:00. Another safe option for the winter time would be the '''airport'''t - unfortunately you can’t blackride the bus that goes there since the driver checks everyone, but the combined ticket for the Metro and the bus is 530 HUF (~1,15€). If you buy the ticket from the driver instad of the vending machine, it’s 600 HUF. The staff doesn’t care about the people sleeping there and no one checks if you have your ID they a flight ticket. Might also be a good option if you’re planning on hitchhiking from there in the morning. == Food == At Allee shopping centre (metro stop Újbuda Központ, green line. Tram 4 and 6 too) on the top floor there is a large food court where it's possible to table dive. Also at Kőbánya Kispest (last stop on the M3 blue line) there is a large shopping centre beside the train station. There's a large food court on the top floor also where you cantable dive. Also in the Corvin Plaza there't sue s a food court on the top floor to table dive. Try the market at Újbuda Központ (Vásárlócsarnok) and youcan maybe get some free vegetables from the sellers there. At Örs vezér tere, so there's an IKEA with a great food court. Just take a left after you come up the following options are up stairs to avoid all the showrooms unless youenjoy playing there to raise your appetite :-)  On the top floor of the central market at Fovam ter, there are many food stalls, popular among tourists, most of whom are ignorant fuckers who order what they want but not what they need, i.e. A LOT of leftovers on the table. There are public tables where these fuckers eat and they are not frequently cleaned by workers, thus easy opportunity for table diving. Please do this, even just once or twice. I have seen big sandwiches and baked potatoes and such being left after a single bite. We should make wasting food a crime.  == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}}
