Attention: Trains running in Hungary not fit for this climate – MÁV’s advice
Change language:
In recent days, travellers of MÁV in Hungary have often experienced significant delays, with many having to wait in non-air-conditioned carriages under sweltering conditions.
Many MÁV trains do not have an AC
László Kormányos, Deputy CEO of MÁV-Start, told RTL that the railway cars are 40-50 years old and were not designed for the current climatic conditions.

Due to the summer heat, a large number of people are travelling across the country to find a cooler place where it’s easier to take this weather. Meanwhile, the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) faces multiple challenges: downed overhead wires, significant delays, and melting tracks. Even on trains with air conditioning, it often doesn’t work properly.
While MÁV distributes water at stations, they recommend postponing travel or opting for bus services if possible (where, according to them, “at least the AC is working”).
And they still charge for a seat ticket for KOCSI number 1, which supposed to have AC!!! and of course doesn’t exist!!
PRIORITIZATION – we know the under funding that has OCCURED into this sector of the NEED’s of Hungarians.
We are operating still of being DECADES behind in technology, rolling stock, in ALL operations, the infrastructure of rail travel in Hungary.
Buses, Trolley Buses, and Trams – we are playing a “Catch” up Game, that won’t be MODERNIZED up-graded by the Orban – Fidesz Government, as they are in Financial ruination.
WE know the LENGTH that FACTUALLY there is that through the wrongful practices of the Orban – Fidesz Government, there in-ability to PROVIDE the NEEDS’s of all Hungarians which PUBLIC Transport is – a NEED, of a modern day 21st century country, the repetitive FAILINGS of the Orban – Fidesz Government to PRIORITIZE.
