Karácsony announces launch of “metrobuses”



The Budapest transport centre BKK will launch a new “metrobus” system that will carry people living in the outer districts to the metro stations with frequent service, as directly as possible, quickly and without transfers, thus offering passengers a real alternative to driving, mayor Gergely Karácsony announced on Facebook on Monday.

However, he said, “Despite our dedicated development plans, there is still a lot of uncertainty due to the strained relationship between the government and the EU”.

He said the BKK had recently presented a development plan, a result of data-based planning, that will greatly improve access to the city centre from the outer districts with little effort.
