Previous editions
The 2015 Budapest Smart Ticketing & Transport Forum was a 1st of its kind and a great success, as well as the following 8 editions welcoming more than 100 participants each year.
Budapest representatives had the opportunity to present their ticketing projects and give valuable insights on the current Schemes in Hungary. The events also focused on international initiatives, on the need for standards, and on how interoperability is becoming a reality. Senior experts shared their experience and knowledge on these topics to give the attendance a comprehensive overview of the technological opportunities and the best way to exploit them.
Furthermore, the Budapest Forums gave room for live demonstration of equipment.
