Attention! Traffic changes and public transport disruptions tonight in popular Budapest district
As Budapest gears up for the highly anticipated UEFA Nations League match between Hungary and Germany, fans should prepare for significant traffic changes and public transport disruptions in the vicinity of the Puskás Arena.
Traffic changes tonight
As Bors reports, the UEFA Nations League match between Hungary and Germany is set to kick off at the Puskás Arena on Tuesday at 8.45 pm, prompting significant traffic changes in the surrounding area. The Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) has announced that road closures will begin at 5.30 pm, affecting several key routes including Dózsa György Road and Stefánia Road.
Fans are encouraged to access the stadium on foot from nearby metro stations, such as Puskás Ferenc Stadion and Keleti Railway Station, as parking is limited. To avoid congestion, BKK recommends using public transport, particularly metro lines 2 and 4 and tram line 1. The affected streets will remain closed until 23:30, creating a need for drivers and public transport users to plan their journeys accordingly.
Public transport disruptions
The Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) has announced that metro lines 2 and 4, along with tram line 1, will operate more frequently before and after the match to accommodate fans. Additionally, all buses on Thököly Road will stop at Reiner Frigyes Park and Thököly Road-Stefánia Road. Due to road closures, bus 30 will detour along Thököly út and Dózsa György Road without stopping at Verseny Street, while trolleybus lines 75 and 75A will reroute to Keleti Railway Station instead of Puskás Ferenc Stadion.
The match is set to kick off at 8.45 pm, with traffic disruptions starting as early as 5.30 pm. Key routes such as Dózsa György út and Stefánia út will be closed, necessitating adjustments for public transport users. Trolleybus 77 will operate along Hungária körút instead of Stefánia út, and buses 95, 130, and 195 will not stop at their usual terminus near the stadium. Fans are strongly advised to utilise public transport options to avoid congestion and ensure a smooth journey to the arena amidst the anticipated traffic changes.
