Tram line 61 runs on a shortened route between Móricz Zsigmond körtér and Zuhatag sor from 28 September 2013 to 31 October 2013. Between Széll Kálmán tér M and Hűvösvölgy tram 61 is replaced by buses 61V, which run every 5 minutes during daytime and every 2-3 minutes during peak hours.

To minimise inconvenience due to transferring between lines, replacement buses 61V are in operation between Széll Kálmán tér M and Hűvösvölgy on Szilágyi Erzsébet fasor via Hűvösvölgyi út partly in parallel with tram 61. Buses stop at Budagyöngye and Szent János Kórház between Széll Kálmán tér M and Kelemen László utca. To reach stops on this section, tram 61 is recommended. Replacement buses running on Hűvösvölgy út do not serve tram stops between Kelemen László utca and Hűvösvölgy terminus; bus stops are served on Hűvösvölgyi út.

We recommend passengers travelling between Széll Kálmán tér M and Hűvösvölgy take replacement bus 61V to travel comfortably and take tram 61 to reach their destination between Széll Kálmán tér M and Zuhatag sor. During the track refurbishment passengers need to transfer between tram 61 and replacement bus 61V to reach Hűvösvölgy and stops on Hűvösvölgyi út from the the Zuhatag sor, Akadémia, Nagyajtai utca, Városmajor and Nyúl utca stops.

We recommend passengers transfer between tram 61 and replacement bus 61 V at the Kelemen László utca stop when travelling towards Hűvösvölgy and at the Budagyöngye stop when going towards Széll Kálmán tér.

Fare information

When transferring between replacement buses and trams, already validated single tickets (also of those within a block of 10 tickets) are valid for onward travel, but the other end of the ticket (the end without a number grid) needs to be stamped or punched with the validating machines, in the case of tickets from a block, the individual tickets have to be torn out to do this. Transfer tickets have number grids at both ends; therefore no revalidation is needed at the other end.
