The latter's daughter is Rita (Dávid's cousin), spouse of actor and theater director Rodrigo Crespo (born 1973).

[15] Additionally, BKK launched a comprehensive new vehicle procurement program, which marks the introduction of a hundred new modern low-floor buses, trolleybuses and trams into service in Budapest.

[16] Under Vitézy, BKK successfully coordinated the launch of the new M4 metro line, including related infrastructure developments: a new bus station, P+R parking lots, public spaces and junctions were also established.

[16] The opening of modern integrated customer centers in several busy junctions has brought a significant quality change that is emblematic and directly perceptible to the traveling public.

One of the most complex developments was the launch of the FUTÁR traffic management and passenger information system, which also made it possible to monitor the real situation of routes on a map.

Route planning databases and real-time traffic data have become accessible to applications developed by third parties, including Google's travel planner.

Tarlós argued that BKK under Vitézy lost its role and became an over-bloated, over-expanding, autonomous company that became independent from the General Assembly of Budapest.

[20] VEKE president Lajos Dorner also claimed that Vitézy acted as a political actor at the head of a professional organization, who "could not wait for opportunities to come, he wanted everything right away".

[22] Dabóczi reported his predecessor for violation of trade secrets and illegal possession of data assets, but the prosecution rejected the charge.

[24] Vitézy stated that his goal is to create a unified ticket purchase system that plans the route between any two settlements, regardless of the type of public transportation.

However, the museum remained closed throughout under his management, after the main building was demolished in the City Park, but the selection of a new location was constantly postponed by the Hungarian government.

[29] In addition to the criticism of the underground parking construction at József nádor Square, he protested against mayor István Tarlós' "anti-bicycle measures" and "retrograde transport plans" in April 2016.

Vitézy argued that Tarlós' management "have turned away from the public transport oriented approach and want to return to the seventies".

[33] Vitézy emphasized that the BFK "does not mean an alternative town hall" against opposition mayor Gergely Karácsony, who was defeated Tarlós in 2019.

[35] After the 2022 Hungarian parliamentary election, Vitézy was appointed Secretary of State for Transport under Minister of Technology and Industry László Palkovics on 25 May 2022.

[36] The NKK was transferred to the Ministry of Construction and Investment under János Lázár in July 2022,[37] and soon ceased to exist as an independent state institution.

[38] Vitézy remained state secretary until the resignation of Palkovics in November 2022, which resulted the disintegration of the Ministry of Technology and Industry.

In March 2023, he accused János Lázár of hindering the development of railway transport, citing that the minister scrapped the project of the planned expansion of the Nyugati station.

[43] In January 2024, Vitézy strongly opposed the reductions of BKV routes, which Gergely Karácsony withdrew as a result of the protests.

[45] Gergely Karácsony and the left-wing opposition parties accused Vitézy of being the "hidden" candidate of Fidesz, citing his former positions and family relations under the Orbán governments.

He pledged to build 10,000 new service apartments, and banish party politicians from the boards of Budapest companies, where he would also introduce the one-third female quota.

He argued that the unsustainable increase in housing prices has resulted in people moving out of the city, while abandoned "rust zones" await development.

[51] Despite continuous denials, Szentkirályi subsequently withdrew, and declared that Fidesz would support Vitézy two days before the elections started.

[52] Pro-government media unanimously encouraged people to vote Vitézy for mayor, all the while, maintaining support for the Fidesz–KDNP list in the contemporaneous General Assembly election.

[53] As a reaction, Karácsony and the parties supporting him announced that this was the "end of Orbán's play", arguing that Vitézy was, in fact, the real candidate of Fidesz, whose "independence" served to confuse and divide anti-government voters.
