Budapest public transport modernization

Overview

Budapest is implementing several infrastructure and fleet updates to modernize its transit network. The Budapesti Közlekedési Központ (BKK) has initiated a design contract to expand and modernize the Angyalföld tram depot. This project, funded by European funds, aims to accommodate 51 new CAF trams through the construction of a new maintenance hall and track modernization.

Simultaneously, the Budapest Transport Centre (BKV) is expanding its bus fleet with the acquisition of 20 new Mercedes-Benz Citaro K midibuses. BKV is also testing Bio-CNG technology in collaboration with MOL Group. This trial involves using a bus powered by biomethane produced from organic waste to explore transitional renewable fuel solutions while electric infrastructure is developed.
