Pick up a bike from any docking station with the help of the terminal or the sensor on the rear-side of the bike or by using the MOL Bubi mobile app. Click here for details.
Quick urban transport
MOL Bubi offers an environmentally friendly, quick and convenient alternative in urban transport. Different types of tickets and passes as well as redeemable coupons provide access to the system.

If you would like to give MOL Bubi a try or you are interested in short-term use only, please purchase one of the ticket types at any touchscreen MOL Bubi terminal or via the mobile app.
