After you buy your ticket, you have to validate 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 that day (or at least not the day before...) I haven't had a ticket checked on a bus or tram yet, but if you want to be safe, hang around the machine and if you see an inspector coming, punch your ticket immediately.
The old "I didn't know I had to validate the ticket" thing will not work with an inspector. The Hungarian transportation system is going bankrupt and they need those fines, so if you get caught without a valid ticket, you have to pay about €24€50.
==Bum Camping==There are tons of abandoned buildings and "ruins" around the city, and you're sure to find one if you wander the central city a bit, Pest side especially. Sleeping in them should be no problem, though I haven't spent a full night in one. (June 2008nuclearphyllis, January 2009).<br />
