If you have been to Budapest in the last couple of months, you could have seen and experienced the changes in the city’s public transport system. For example, metro 4 was completed and handed over to passengers at the last weekend of March. There are several new bus lines and developments in the communication and information system, too, which helps the passengers to use the metro lines, buses, trams and trolleybuses more effectively and comfortably.

But it is not the end of the expectable changes, it is only the beginning of all of it. The so-called Balázs Mór-plan of the city promises several changes in the public transport system, between 2014 and 2030. The program promises further improvement of the services and the connection between the buses, trams, trolleybuses, metro lines, just like the reconstruction of metro lines and metro stations. For example, a station on the line of metro 3 will change like this.

There will be some serious reconstruction concerning the line of the HÉV (suburban railways) between Budapest and Gödöllő. New vehicles will replace the old ones, and the rails will connect to metro 2. The new HÉV stations and vehicles will look like this.

Metro line 1 and the line of tram 1 and 3 will be renovated, too, just like Széll Kálmán Square and Őrmező metro terminal, where a huge bus terminal and a garage for 1500 cars are planned to be built.

Metro line 1 and the new vehicles on the line will look like this. For sure, there will be some protesters against the changes concerning one of the oldest metro lines in Europe.

Széll Kálmán Square will look like this in the future.

Őrmező terminal will be huge and probably noisy, with a lot of traffic, but it will guarantee 1500 parking lots for people who arrive to the capital.
