Good news in the Hungarian capital: traffic jams have decreased most in Budapest

The Hungarian capital has seen the largest reduction in congestion among major European cities.

Mayor of Budapest Gergely Karácsony proudly shared on his Facebook page, “Budapest has seen the biggest reduction in congestion among all European cities, second only to Vienna, when compared to the previous year.”

The mayor added that this is a trend that has been persistent. This achievement stands out as congestion has surged in the majority of the surveyed countries . “This is not only our assertion but that of an independent navigation company based on real data,” Karácsony wrote.

The mayor of Budapest said there is only one solution to everyday traffic jams. “We shouldn’t make people falsely believe that they can afford to always take their car wherever they go, instead we should provide them with affordable and convenient public transport”.
