Train fares and tariffs / If you are a EU OAP ....

Hello, I don't know if anyone has posted re this, but in Hungary, if you carry a EU passport and are over 65 you can travel for free on 2nd class trains and free on buses and trams (streetcars). All you need to do is show your passport to the official on the gate. If you wish to travel 1st class then you can upgrade for a very silly amount! I go from Pécs to Eger via Budapest for the princely sum of circa £7 return, 1st class to Budapest and back, 2nd class Budapest to Eger, which is totally free. The only time you won't get free travel in Hungary is on things like the Children's Railway and the various rack and pinion railways.
