In case of discounted mobile tickets you have to show up your identification/certificate during inspection to proove your right to use this kind of discount. Discounted products are only available for those who are registered as private individuals in the application.

- How can I requiere a VAT invoice?

The National Mobile Payment Ltd. issues an invoice for each purchase, which is available in the application from the first calendar day of the following month, during the registration of the customer.

- What to do in case of our mobile phone is discharged but we have valid mobile ticket?

The responsibility of having the phone charged and active mobile data connection belongs to the passenger. In the absence of one of these, the purchased fee product can not be presented during the inspection, the procedure is the same as in case of paper fee products, which is included in the MVK Ltd.’s Business Code.

- What happens if the passenger leaves his phone? Is it possible to use the purchased mobile ticket on another mobilephone?

The purchased mobile ticket is assigned to that mobile phone which was used to carry out the purchasing process. Because of this in case of mobile device replacement or application reinstall (or similar device modifications) the mobile tickets purchased before will become inactive and can not be used for traveling.

- Are the passengers using mobile ticket allowed to travel free in case of system failure?

The passenger does not have the right to travel if the purchase of the mobile ticket is not possible. In such case the passenger should purchase the paper-based ticket parallely available through other sales channels.

If the passenger has already purchased the mobile ticket and has operative mobile device with active mobile data connection and is not able to show up the mobile product because of system failure or the validity of the ticket can not be checked because of other reason caused by system failure, the responsibility belongs to the provider and the passenger can not be obligated to interrupt travelling or to pay surcharge.

 

Registration

Is registration required in all cases?

Yes, mobile ticket users need to register. If you already have registered to the app you wish to use, you do not need to register again. You register with the operator of your app not with MVK Zrt.

I have not received the confirmation e-mail for my registration / I have provided the wrong e-mail address. What shall I do?

Please turn to your app provider with any registration related issues, as MVK Zrt. has no competence to deal with them.

How can I delete my registration?

Please contact your app provider, as MVK Zrt. has no competence to deal with registration related issues, such as cancelling registrations.

 

Purchase Process

How do I buy a mobile ticket?

Select the suitable ticket or pass type in the app, provide the required data (validity period, photo ID number, quantity), then select the payment method. An active mobile data connection is required for the purchase process.

Is the price of the mobile ticket different from that of paper-based tickets, travelcards and passes?

No.

Where can I find the purchased item?

After successful payment, the purchased item will appear under the “not yet valid” category, from where it will be automatically relocated to the “valid” folder at the start of the validity period (but two minutes after purchase at the earliest).

Can I get a refund for my unused mobile ticket?

Tickets and passes can only be redeemed before they are valid.

Can I replace my mobile ticket?

No, but you can get a refund in the app for unused and non-validated tickets.

Some types of passes do not appear among purchasable items at all. Why is that?

Please check if you have logged into the correct user account. In some applications, student and pensioner passes are not purchasable in business accounts, therefore those types of pass will not be shown at all.

What shall I do if my bank sends a notification about the amount charged, but the purchased item does not appear in the app?

Please check first among “not yet valid” items in the app. The amount of your purchase is at first only blocked in your bank account (you will be sent a notification about this at the time of purchase), your bank will book the charge after verifying that the transaction has been successful. If the purchased item does not appear among “not yet valid” ones, the blocked amount will probably be released. Please contact your bank concerning this.

What happens if I have a valid mobile ticket, but my mobile phone’s battery has gone dead or I have no mobile data connection?
