Budapest mayor: busiest metro line may undergo major upgrade
Budapest Mayor Gergely Karácsony will propose ensuring disabled accessibility along the entirety of the city’s M2 metro line, the Mayor’s Office said on Friday.
Karácsony will submit a proposal to the municipal assembly for an upgrade involving European funding that would see old escalators in need of repair replaced with new ones and platform lifts, the office said. This would not only help those with mobility issues, the elderly and parents with small children, but it would also help with saving energy, the statement added.
In a video posted on Facebook, Karácsony said the M2 line was Budapest’s second busiest metro line with roughly 300,000 passengers using it daily. Of the 11 stations on the line, only 3 offer disabled accessibility, he added. The project to be proposed by Karácsony would involve transport company BKV replacing 27 escalators and installing eight platform lifts at eight stations, the Mayor’s Office said. The project is currently estimated to cost 21 billion forints (EUR 50.9m) , they said.
Here is the project’s announcement published by Mayor Karácsony:
