Public transport in Budapest to go bankrupt and stop soon?
Change language:
The Budapest Transport Centre may go bankrupt. This is because they could get a fine in connection with renovating the Chain Bridge, and they are not able to pay for it. A company that performs the Chain Bridge renovation can expect a severe fine for a minor mistake.
Public transport in Budapest is close to bankruptcy
The Budapest Transport Centre (Budapest KözlekedĂ©si Központ — BKK) may receive fines of up to HUF 3 billion from the Public Procurement Arbitration Committee. The reason for this is that, according to the chairman of the Public Procurement Authority, A-HĂd Zrt., which is renovating the Chain Bridge, did not announce its subcontractors in time, writes NĂ©pszava.
In August 2021, the Public Procurement Authority launched an inspection in connection with the renovation of the Chain Bridge on the basis of a public interest announcement. The contractor, A-HĂd Zrt. announced its 19 subcontractors late.
BKK, the contracting authority, did not notice the error either.
This is also interesting because BKK carried out several on-site inspections and saw, among other things, the contractor’s invoices and the construction log. The Public Procurement Authority did not tell napi.hu how often it is necessary to start an investigation into the public procurement procedure.
PUT the price of Petrol Up.

Ridiculous – of a Government, to place it-self in a situation – if it is FACT – in this type of Humiliating position, in good times and worse still – in the time and challenges – we ALL face in Hungary.

Usually when people in comments sections write FACT, their opinion is based upon very few facts and the very fact that they use caps in their posting shows that apart from the content of their comment not being based upon facts (just surmises without taking into account the whole picture, rather like conspiracy theories), they also have a poor grasp of social media / online commenting etiquette. I hope that you find this factual information of assistance, whether your preferred position is humiliating or not-
