Hungary’s government has announced a comprehensive modernisation program for Budapest’s suburban railway lines, known as HÉV. Transport Minister Dávid Vitézy highlighted the current state of the lines, noting trains lack basic comforts like adequate heating and air conditioning, and are not low-floor for accessibility. The upgrade aims to address these issues and significantly improve the commuter experience. Details of the program were released today, promising a major overhaul of the existing infrastructure and rolling stock. This initiative represents a historic investment into the city’s public transportation network. The modernisation is expected to benefit thousands of daily commuters relying on these vital links to the city center. Further information is available via Daily News Hungary.
