Revamping Budapest: Major upgrades coming to taxi stands across the city

The Budapest Transport Center (BKK) has launched a multi-phase renovation program for taxi stands, aiming to refresh nearly 120 of the city’s approximately 300 taxi stations by the end of this year.

According to a statement sent to MTI on Friday, the renovation work has already commenced in the city centre, with plans to extend to the outer districts by the year’s end as part of a collaborative effort between BKK and Budapest Közút, Növekedés.hu reports. The program is being carried out in several phases, with about 100 stands already receiving fresh road markings.

In addition to the new paint, the renovations will encompass all necessary improvements to ensure the taxi stands are safe and comfortable for users. This will result in several stations offering more spacious areas for passengers using taxi services.

Earlier this year, BKK assumed responsibility for taxi administration from Budapest Közút, placing a strong emphasis on enabling residents and visitors to travel and navigate the city with ease. As part of this commitment, BKK is also modernising the passenger information systems at public transport terminals and initiating the reconstruction of taxi stations.
