Yettel Hungary said that line tickets and time-based digital tickets for the Budapest Transport Center (BKK) system have been added to the range of services available with the Yettel Wallet app. Time-based tickets enable customers to change BKK lines several times and travel both ways within the specified time slot.

Tickets can be purchased using the Yettel Wallet app and the costs are charged to the customer’s mobile phone bill. With the digital platform available without a fee, even occasional journeys become completely paperless.

Yettel customers can purchase tickets or monthly passes for public transport service providers in several major cities, such as BKK, Volanbusz and Gysev, with the costs charged to their mobile phone bills. This offering has now been expanded with the time-based tickets of BKK. For prepaid customers, the amount is immediately debited to their available balance which means that they don’t need to give their bank card data in the app. Customers need an active data connection to purchase, validate and show their tickets.

“Transport-related purchases are clearly the most popular mobile payment transactions in the Yettel Wallet app. Over the past years, parking and motorway toll payment accounted for 75% of all mobile payment transactions. The new time-based tickets will benefit not only regular public transport users but also car owners who use public transport services occasionally, for short periods of time. This is in line with Yettel’s goal to provide simple, easy-to-use and relevant services to make people’s lives easier”, said Máté Pomezanski, Yettel’s Digital Products Director.

Yettel’s mobile payment services are currently used by more than 600,000 customers. In addition to mobile payment solutions, they include mobile marketplace services such as the purchasing of apps or other digital content. This means, that customers with Android- and iOS-based mobile phones can pay for the apps, music titles or other content purchased in Play Store and App Store using their mobile phones with the cost charged to their Yettel bill. Yettel was the first operator in Hungary to launch this service for Android OS users. Budapest transport tickets
