Public transportation generally
Szeged is an easily walkable city, however buses, trolley buses, and trams are all available means of transportation. Bus tickets can be purchased almost anywhere in town, in kiosks, in shops, and even on busses. All conference participants receive a city map in their conference bags.
For using a bus, tram or trolley bus one needs to purchase a valid ticket. Tickets have to be validated on the vehicle. One ticket is valid for one journey only (single way on the same bus). Upon changing vehicle, one needs to validate another ticket.
