Hi ​@Pelin Lâl 

No, an Interrail Pass is not valid on Budapest's metro, trams, trolleybuses, or regular city buses. These are operated by Budapest's local public transport network (BKK), and you need a separate local ticket or pass for them.

Your Interrail Pass is valid on national rail services in Hungary (MÁV/GYSEV trains) and some suburban rail services, but not on the Budapest underground/metro system.

For getting around Budapest, it's usually easiest to buy a BKK travel pass (24-hour, 72-hour, etc.) or use the BudapestGO app for local transport tickets.

Enjoy Budapest, it's a fantastic city for Interrailers!
