Menetarány

Menetarány is a Hungarian term that translates to "fare rate" or "ticket price" in English. It refers specifically to the price charged for public transportation journeys within Hungary, encompassing services like buses, trams, and trains. The menetarány is typically determined by factors such as the distance traveled, the type of service, and potentially the time of day or specific route. Different transport authorities and companies set their own menetarány structures, leading to variations across different regions and operators.

The calculation of menetarány can be complex. For shorter, local journeys, a flat fare might apply. For longer intercity or regional travel, the price is often calculated based on a per-kilometer rate, with zones or distance brackets used to determine the final cost. Special tickets or passes, such as daily, weekly, or monthly passes, may offer a reduced menetarány for frequent travelers. Discounts are also commonly available for students, seniors, and children. Understanding the specific menetarány for a particular journey is essential for passengers to purchase the correct ticket and avoid potential penalties. Information regarding menetarány is usually available at ticket offices, online through transport company websites, and sometimes via ticketing machines.
