The rack railway in Budapest will be back in operation!
Change language:
The distinctive red and white trains are back: on 1 April, Saturday, the rack railway will be back in operation. Tram 60 – or as most people know it, the rack railway – will run quieter and more foolproof on the renewed track during the winter break.
The weekday timetable will remain unchanged. The TELEfogas system, which has been recently introduced and proved successful, will be maintained in the early morning and late at night. The biggest plus of this demand-driven service in Budapest and the agglomeration is that buses and trains do not unnecessarily pollute the residential environment in the absence of travel demand. On weekends, trains will run every 15 minutes during the day, but BKK will increase the frequency of the service if traffic is heavy.
Currently, you can use eight of BKK’s services as fully or partly demand-led services. You can indicate your intention to travel online at telebusz.bkk.hu or telefogas.bkk.hu after registration, or by calling +36 1 3 255 255, the customer service number.
New this summer, the open nostalgia train is expected to run several times between Városmajor and Széchenyi Hill, writes BKK in their article.
