Transport in Hungary

New motorway sections are being added to the existing network, which already connects many major economically important cities to the capital.

They also provided local transport in cities and towns that did not have their own public transport company (all cities except for Budapest, Miskolc, Pécs, Kaposvár and also Debrecen after 2009), and operated bus lines in cities where the local company operated only tram and trolley bus lines (Szeged and Debrecen, the latter until 2009, when DKV took over the bus lines).

Of the three, the Southern is the most modern but the Eastern and the Western are more decorative and architecturally interesting.

In Budapest there is also a suburban rail service in and around the city, operated under the name HÉV.

Its line 1 (opened in 1896) is the oldest electrified underground railway on the European continent.

A part of this route is the same as where electric trams made their world first run in 1887.
