While not all previous functions have returned, passengers can again monitor delays online. Hungary’s real-time train tracking systems were effectively dismantled last summer after trains were renumbered, and EMIG and the popular Vonatinfó map were shut down. Critics accused the previous government of limiting public access to delay information. MÁV later introduced the MÁVPlusz platform, making disruptions less immediately visible. Vitézy said the previous government responded to rail disruptions with secrecy instead of transparency. He added that MÁV had been instructed to restore public access to the former system and promised further improvements.
