Attention! Budapest tram nr 6 will not commute from December

From 1 December, Budapest tram nr 6 will not commute at night. Tram 6 is the backbone of the Budapest public transport system, connecting South Buda with North Buda while travelling through Pest’s downtown and touching even the famous party district, the Nyugati railway station, the New York Palace and the Palace District. Maintenance work will start this Sunday, so passengers will not be able to use the tram.

According to turizmus.com, tram nr 6 will not carry passengers between midnight and 4 AM until 20 December, except for Wednesdays and Thursdays due to maintenance. Based on a BKK (Budapest Transport Company) statement, tram nr 6 will not commute on 30 December.

Passengers can use replacement buses, which you may get on at stations near the Grand Boulevard (Nagykörút) of Budapest. Moreover, the trams will not stop at the Margaret Island tram station. Bus nr 931 will stop at a road bus stop at the Margaret Bridge, Buda bridgehead station, instead of their station near the tram platform. BKK’s advice for everybody is to plan their travel with the help of BudapestGO, the app updated with the latest changes in the capital’s public transport system.
