Normal traffic gradually resumes in Budapest: here is what you should know – UPDATED
Change language:
The Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) published a statement on how ordinary traffic would resume in Budapest after the flood was over and the Danube receded.
Normal traffic again
According to their announcement, more and more BKK lines will return to normal schedules as the water level of the Danube decreases. From Wednesday dawn, suburban railway line H5 (Budapest-Szentendre) is back in service on the entire line. That means you may get on the trains at Battyány Square, which authorities closed last week due to the rising water level. The metro station reopened on Monday.
Passengers travelling from Szentendre can change to metro line M2 at the Battyány Square station. Moreover, BKK will reopen the bike lane between the Margaret Bridge and the Batthyány Square. Therefore, bikers can ride near the River Danube again.
One of the world’s most beautiful tram lines may reopen this week
From 26 September, after finishing the necessary cleaning work, BKK will open the lower embankments on both sides of the capital. Drivers will be able to occupy those roads on Thursday morning. BKK highlighted that all reopenings are preceded by thorough inspection and cleaning because the floodwater left a huge amount of waste and bacteria that may cause dangerous, even lethal diseases.
Well done P.M. Orban and all those who worked saving the country from disaster like in other EU countries. Hungarians are the best at solving problems.
