Budapest’s “party tram” line 4-6 became shorter today!

From Friday, 27 December, until 5 January, trams on line 4-6 connecting South Buda with Pest and North Buda will commute in a shorter route missing South Buda and South Pest. The trams will only connect the North Buda end station with the Corvin-negyed metro station.

According to turizmus.com, trams on the 4-6 line, often referred to as Budapest’s “party tram line” (because it carries people to the party district) will not commute on the entire line from today until next Sunday since water pipe maintenance had to be started in South Buda near Irinyi József Street. Therefore, trams will carry passengers only between the Széll Kálmán metro station in North Buda and the Corvin-negyed metro station.

Since the water pipe is under the tram rails, tram traffic had to be restricted. However, the Budapest Transport Company (BKK) will operate replacement buses between the Corvin-negyed metro station and the South Buda end stations. They will have the 4-6 sign, so they will be easy to recognise.
