The map shows my correct location. With the former, established bikes everything worked. Classic make-it-worse update. Not worth the hassle. Taxis in Budapest never let you down. **Developer response:** Thank you for letting us know! We apologise for the issue and are already working on fixing it; an app update will be released shortly to resolve this problem. ### 2/5 — Only Login no Sign up *2026-07-25* Where can I sign up? I tried the Login page and put my phone number, but the app shows the account doesn't exist and tells me to sign up. But no where in the app can I find the sign up option. **Developer response:** The service is currently on hold for a few days following the end of the testing period so that we can complete the final technical adjustments and fine-tuning needed for the official launch. Bubi will be available again soon. :) ### 2/5 — Constant frustration due to the condition of bikes *2025-12-01, version 4.9.2* I’ve been using Bubi on and off for years and it’s just been too many times that I had a flat tire, broke shifter or/and halting chains. The overall reliability of the bikes is poor. It’s hard to recommend a service where the locks sometimes refuse to close, and every trip carries the risk of getting stuck swearing at a station for minutes before eventually contacting support because the bike won’t return properly. I’ve had many negative experiences, and I didn’t write a review earlier because I genuinely like what Bubi stands for. The app is good, and customer support has always been helpful — but the hardware has let me down too many times to overlook. ### 5/5 — 100% recomanable *2025-10-31, version 4.9.2* Super practic i comode per moure't per la ciutat de Budapest. Carrils bicis molt adaptats. ### 5/5 — Ok *2025-10-31* Locataire français pas très connecté : expérience réussie **Developer response:** Thank you very much, that is great to hear! ### 5/5 — Budapest heroes square *2025-09-12* Really fun addition to our holiday from the UK. Easy to use app. My friend is having some difficulty returning her bike but hopefully will be resolved by their help desk. **Developer response:** Thank you very much, we are glad you enjoyed the service, as well as biking in Budapest. ### 5/5 — Great app and exceptional service *2025-09-10, version 4.9.2* Been using MOL Bubi for my daily transportation the last 3 years in Budapest. The app works well and it is fast, the only small caveats with MOL Bubi are the same as the inherent limitations of any such system, mainly concerning the physical working of the shared bikes. The customers service is exceptional, they are fast, professional and communicate well. I very highly recommend using MOL Bubi for anyone biking in Budapest, especially if biking only occasionally, but also for biking regularly. With the planned expansion of the service area I hope it will be used by many more customers. ### 5/5 — A lot of stations *2025-09-06* Stations everywhere…not a problem! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and review! ### 1/5 — Service charge *2025-08-26, version 4.9.2* Absolutely ridiculous, letting park in any place but charge you straight away 5000 Huf, called support to let them know that I wasn’t aware of it and I am willing to park in designated place, didn’t get any help there. ### 2/5 — App and service *2025-08-12, version 4.9.2* Complicated app, overpriced service (50 HUF for a minute!) more expensive than Bolt if You travel in two, bad quality of equipment. Though huge and dense service area. ## Frequently asked questions about MOL Bubi ### What is MOL Bubi? MOL Bubi is a public bike-sharing system operating in Budapest's city center.
