„Too far away“

I tried 10 different bikes and it always said „you are too far away“. 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.

Response from developer

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.

Only Login no Sign up

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.

Response from developer

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. :)

Constant frustration due to the condition of bikes

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.

Super practic i comode per moure't per la ciutat de Budapest. Carrils bicis molt adaptats.

Budapest heroes square

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.

Response from developer

Thank you very much, we are glad you enjoyed the service, as well as biking in Budapest.

Great app and exceptional service

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.

A lot of stations

Stations everywhere…not a problem!

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and review!

Service charge

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.

App and service

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.

Not on time

Ir does not allow you to use it for 24 hours after you manage to register an account, which is pretty hard fail after fail. It does not let you know why you cannot enter your credit card data and start using the bikes. It’s a waste of time. Therefore, we didn’t manage to use the app and the bikes.

A bit fiddly but worth every penny!

The sign up process is fiddly, it randomly deletes data you entered and it’s not very smooth. However the customer service is amazing and they sorted everything in a two-minute call with no waiting time. Also the bike service is awesome and 100% recommended if you’re in Budapest.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your 5-star review! Every piece of feedback like yours is incredibly important to us and helps us keep improving.

Fast perfekt

Anmeldung schnell und auch in deutsch. Meines Erachtens zu viele Daten dabei abgefragt. Nutzung sehr gut, Preis-/Leistung sehr gut, Budapest ist eine Fahrradstadt mit ausgelegten und gut gepflegten neuen Fahrradwegen, aber immer wieder Hindernisse wie Rad belegt, obwohl im "Parkplatz", Schloss öffnet sich nicht, Fahrrad abgegeben mit Piep quittiert und Zeit läuft weiter, Fahrrad defekt. Alles am Ende regelbar, aber man braucht hier und da Zeit und Nerven.
In Summe zu empfehlen.

Good service

I just wish more area was covered. I don’t have a bike station near where I live. But it is still very convenient to get around the city.

Doesn’t work

I typed in my number and it never sent me my pin. I am from the U.S. and used country code +1 and also tried 00. Neither worked and then it said I requested my pin too many times. Donkey republic app works great so we went with them instead.

Perfetto

Great App / Klassz aplikació !

One of the best and cheapest bike sharing service at Budapest, Hungary. I am using this MOL Bubi service since the beginning. This new version of bikes (2.0) are lighter and easier to use. I can highly recommend this bikes, services. Keep up the good works! K.András

Didn’t work

Concept is good but doesn’t work on certain phone numbers

Response from developer

For security reasons, some phone numbers cannot be used with the service. However, if you ever have a problem, please contact us on Facebook or call our customer support team at (06 1) 325 5255. We're here to help!

Impossible to register

When attempting to register, the app requests a cellphone number to send a PIN. However, it only accepts numeric characters, preventing users from entering the country code with a “+”. If the “+” is omitted, the registration button remains disabled, creating an endless loop that makes registration impossible.

Money pickers

Not a transparent and honest way to relate with users. Be aware if you don’t left the bike in their specific return point they apply a fee of 5000huf per bike!
