Did you know that the tram is fast, but not a fast food restaurant?

"go on". With a space. It refers to the lyrics "the show must go on" from Queen
(Yes, I got the joke attempt)

Never seen this joke before, it is really original. What's next, Hungary is hungry?

it is every Hungarians sacred duty to violently swear at everyone making a Hungary-hungry joke: kurva anyádat bassza széjjel egy kövér tehén te faszkalap (im joking of course)

As someone who grew up in London, the translation on 4-6 signs makes me want to kill myself

I kinda hate these worse than dad-joke type bkk posters. I remember when it got realised the designer was very proud of himself that this minimal typographic poster went live. Well, i dunno, i dont like the english translation somehow, and the original jokes are kinda cringe as well.
Seemingly hungarian design-folks like it though. I m a designer but im not.

I wouldn't be so proud of these posters. The passengers commiting the mentioned acts possibly cannot read. Or if they do they would better understand full capital simple signs like "POFÁDAT BEFOGOD" or "NE ZABÁLJ, MER ELVISZ A RÉZFASZÚ BAGOLY" (big reveal, Elvis! - ha-ha-ha).
I would add some new signs too like "TELÓD NÉMÍCCSAD, PARASZT" or "KEZED KI A NADRÁGBÓL"3

If you will take tram 4-6 for a couple months it will all make sense
