Public transport in Szeged

Public transport in Szeged, Hungary is provided by two companies, SzKT (short for the Hungarian name of Public Transport Company of Szeged) and Volánbusz.

After the great flood of 1879 the existing omnibus transport was insufficient for the rapidly growing city's needs, so from July 1, 1884 horse trams were operated by a company which was the predecessor of SzKT.

Buses were planned to play a secondary role to the tram system, but they quickly became popular.

The city is one of only four Hungarian cities with trams — the others being Budapest, Miskolc and Debrecen — and, alongside Budapest and Debrecen, one of only three with trolley buses.

A Tram-train line to Hódmezővásárhely is under construction as of 2019 with a planned completion date of 2021.
