if you are over 65...
In Budapest, yes, you just show your passport.
In London, tubes and buses are free for London over 65 residents; buses
for other English after 9.30; nothing for Scots or others. Rest of
England, most buses mostly after 9.30 for English.
Approximately and subject to local variations.

...a member of an EU state, and have ID to prove it,
you can travel free on public transport in Budapest.
I wonder when England is going to join the EU?
And throughout London
I have been googling for that for a while and I can't find anything
remotely like it on offer. There are limited schemes available for
London residents, but absolutely nothing that an EU visitor could use,
no matter how much form-filling they were willing to put up with.
If I were over 65 and carrying a Hungarian passport to prove it,
what would I say to a London bus driver or tube station operative
to get on board without paying?
It seems like London is adopting a scheme similar to the one Scotland
has had for a few years - only Scottish residents are eligible.
