How do you use a Budapest 5/30 travelcard?

score:4

Accepted answer

This travelcard is valid for all trams and buses (including the night buses) in Budapest and some close suburbs (including the airport), on the HÉV suburban lines within the city limits (a separate suburban network that's pretty much like the metro), as well as on the BKK ferry. It isn't valid on the main suburban trains (not operated by BKK) nor on the funicular.

The 5/30 card is basically a booklet of five 24-hour cards (note that you must not detach them from the booklet: if even one page is torn out, the booklet is invalid). The sales desk marks the valid 30-day period (if you get it from a machine, it should ask you for the starting date; if you get it from a clerk, they might assume the current day if you don't say anything). Each card is valid 24 hours from the date indicated, e.g. you can use it on one afternoon and the following morning.

You indicate the date for each page by marking the start date and time at the back. I'm pretty sure you don't need to stamp it (I don't think the card would even fit in the validator). Here's a picture showing the back of a page, from a forum in Russian:
