First tram train linking Hungarian cities starts operation
The first tram train in Hungary, linking the cities of Hódmezővásárhely and Szeged, started operation at 4.30am on Monday.
János Lázár, the region’s MP and government commissioner for transport investments, said the train took 35 minutes between the two city centres, “and contributes to Hungary being one of the best places in central Europe.”
Innovation and Technology Minister László Palkovics said
the next tram train is planned to connect Debrecen in east Hungary and Oradea (Nagyvárad) in Romania, “giving the investment a relevance in policy for Hungarians beyond the borders.”

Hungary works!
I like Lázár. I consider either him or Szijjarto good replacements for aging Orbán.
