The city has two railway stations (Tiszai and Gömöri) and an unpaved airport which is not open to the public and plays no role in mass transport.

By this time the city had more than 30.000 residents, the railway line reached Miskolc in 1859 but the railway station was at that time quite far (2.2 km) from the city proper; the metal factory of Diósgyőr was opened in 1868, and Tapolca was fast becoming a popular tourist destination.

In the 1860s it was planned to build the tram line between the factory and the railway station underground, but sufficient funds were lacking.

Because of the success of the first tram line, a second tramway was built perpendicular to the first one, between Búza tér and Népkert.

On June 8, 1903 a citizen called Mrs. Gyula Bene launched the first scheduled bus line between the city halls of Miskolc and Diósgyőr.

(Since Diósgyőr was not part of Miskolc at that time, the state allowed it to be operated only as a municipal railway, not as a tram.)

There were plans to unify the two tram lines so that people would not have to change when going from the railway station to Diósgyőr, but MVV Rt.

During World War II the tramways were damaged, and tram traffic completely stopped by 1942.

The tram lines, which connected the three towns decades before their unification, played an important role in this.

Görömböly, Tapolca and Lillafüred, which were connected to Miskolc by bus lines, were annexed to the city five years later.

During its long history Miskolc had the most residents in the 1980s; as the country's second-largest city and an important centre of heavy industry, it had more than 200.000 inhabitants.

It is no surprise that the mass transport company set its records during that decade: in 1988 its 274 buses and 44 trams carried 198.7 million passengers.

answered with the much criticised move of ordering bus drivers to only open the first door and check if passengers have a ticket.

Mainly because of geographical reasons articulated buses don't serve on the following lines: 3A, 5, 11, 15, 19, 24, 33, 34, 38, 67, 68, 69.

(Valid for the bus lines between Miskolc and the town of Felsőzsolca) Single-fare tickets cost the same as for city buses.

All season tickets are 10% cheaper for holders of a Miskolc Card, which can be bought by anyone with a permanent residence in the city.

has seven ticket offices in the city (Tiszai Station, Búza Square, Uitz Street, Újgyőr Main Square, Diósgyőr, Avas City Centre, Airport) but single-fare tickets can also be bought elsewhere (e.g. newsstands and on the vehicles).
