It would be a total of 5,000 seats, according to a government decision.

Planning for a total of 3,000 P + R car parks and, for those arriving at the train station by bike, at least 2,000 B + R bike warehouses can start according to the government decision published on Saturday, Balázs Fürjes told MTI , Budapest and the Secretary of State for the Development of the Agglomeration. He said that “the key is the development of public transport, public transport. In this, our goal is for travelers to get to their destination faster, more conveniently, and with fewer transfers. Today, the real challenge for Budapest transportation is that a million people come from the suburbs and outlying districts every day to work, study, use services and more than two-thirds come by car. “When asked how You could reduce this, the Secretary of State said in no way re-educating and banning people.

And not even a bucket of yellow paint spilling like an idea in the center

added.

“Budapest does not only consist of the city center. All parts of Budapest, all its suburbs and all its citizens are the same. The inhabitants of the outer districts and the agglomeration also have good transport and good living conditions,” he said.

According to Balázs Fürjes, there are three tasks: better public transport connections, this will be achieved through the renovation of HÉV and the development of suburban railways. Construction of direct connections to the city center, missing elements of the outer ring road and bridges, such as the Galvani Bridge. Lastly, large-capacity parking lots for cars and bicycles on external transport axes, so that road users can move from the car to the railway, HÉV, metro, tram of better quality.

He said the government’s Budapest Development Center (BFK) had prepared a detailed study on the P + R and B + R development strategy needed to approach the stations of the Budapest agglomeration in recent months. At all relevant agglomeration stations and stops leading to the capital, at the 171 locations in 108 affected agglomerations, the BFK examined current capacity, demand and estimated future traffic growth in the future. In many places, multiples of the current number of seats would be filled. This is demonstrated not only by the fact that some places sell out early in the morning, but also by the fact that travelers leave their cars on the lawns or in unofficial parking lots, explained Balázs Fürjes, adding that the government must conducting surveys, planning and providing a good seven hundred million guilders for licenses.

As part of the work, the Budapest Development Center will also create a development strategy for the Budapest agglomeration bicycle network. This should outline a coherent cycling network that allows not only access to train stops, but also direct access to the capital’s destinations from the settlements around Budapest.
