RSSThe Mayor of Budapest, Istvan Tarlos, has announced that he is planning to introduce congestion charges in the Hungarian capital. The extra funds raised through the measure would be spent on the improvement of public transport services and on providing financial support for the city's public transport firm 5624 BKV.
According to Tarlos, construction works of the first stretch of Budapest's Metro 4 underground line will need to be completed prior to the introduction of the congestion charge. Moreover, new park-and-ride (P+R) car parks will need to be opened, the number 1 and 3 tram lines will need to be extended and the city's parking system will need to be unified.
