On the basis of the decision of the operational staff of the capital, the BKK strengthened the control of the mandatory use of masks when using public transport. As a result, there was a sharp improvement in discipline in a jiffy, although some passengers had to be warned, but none of them had to pay extra, according to the BKK website.

The goal of tighter control of the use of masks is not to charge passengers surcharges: the capital’s administration and transport services companies want to make sure that travelers do everything possible to prevent and slow the spread of the coronavirus, writes BKK on his website. On the first day of the strictest inspection, on September 10, the reinforced team worked mainly on the busiest public transport lines in Budapest. Several passengers had to be warned to comply with the regulations, but all, without exception, were cooperative, so that no passenger had to be recharged in any case for their evasion.

The increase in inspections will continue, and inspectors and inspectors of public spaces can also be expected to line up less frequently in the coming days, warns BKK.

Experience has shown that, as a result of the adjustment, the willingness of the people of the capital to wear masks increased overnight. BKK staff in several different city centers have verified compliance with a sample of around 20-20 thousand people in the last two days, and they observe that 96-98 percent of passengers in the city use and use a mask, possibly a scarf or shawl, which is the last time was typical in the days after the introduction of sanitary regulations in late April. The vast majority of passengers seem to have understood the importance of protecting our health and that of our passengers.
