Budapest public transport can fully shut down
Change language:
The Hungarian capital city has been still waiting for the 12 billion forints (32.4 million euros) government funds to finance the public transport services. If Budapest does not receive the money, drastic measures will be taken which may include the termination of the public transport.
The government ought to give Budapest 23 billion forints to support the public transport services. Unfortunately, the capital city still has not received this amount which makes it impossible to further sustain the public transport – writes HVG. BKV, the public transport company, can only operate until 25 November from the previous funds and from the money that came in from the vending machines. However, this sum will not last long. Operating fewer vehicles in traffic will not solve the issue ether. Index writes that
the government funds make up only 7 percent of the total budget. But it is still crucial that Budapest receives this amount to sustain the public transport services.
This year the draft contract has not yet been sent to the capital city by the Ministry of Innovation and Technology. According to various sources, a negotiating partner has not been appointed for the arrangements either.
