BKV operates 27 city tram lines and 4 commuter railway lines into the suburban agglomeration. The once-extensive network of tram tracks and the brown striped yellow streetcars were a characteristic of Budapest, but the network was curtailed after the fall of Communism, owing to lack of funding. Line 4-6 is still the largest capacity tram-line in Europe as you can see in Budapest tramway map. The streetcar and cogwheel railway services are now set to have a renaissance as there is no further road capacity for bus lanes in Budapest. Financing is being sought from the EU to help replace the more than 40-year-old rolling stock, starting with new 54-meter long Siemens Combino Supra giants intended for the 4-6 line.

Much like the metro, Budapest trams provide a lot of great stops that travelers and tourists might want to see. What sets this service apart from others is the greater accessibility and number of lines. The Budapest trams run from 4:30 am to 11 pm each day, and the most popular lines run every 5-10 minutes on average as its mentioned in Budapest tramway map. Typically, this service is a bit slower than the metro – especially when it comes to the most popular line, Tram 2 – but you probably wont have to wait an excessively long time. Every major tram stop will have a ticket machine nearby which you can use to purchase admission. Once you step on the tram, you will need to validate your ticket using the red, yellow or orange ticket validators on board.
