Govt To Provide Funds To Budapest Transport Bus Lease
- 4 Jul 2016 9:00 AM
The government will provide funding to cover any extra cost the city of Budapest may face when leasing buses for its public transport system while the city’s M3 metro line is being refurbished, under a government decree published in the official Hungarian Gazette.
The city will be given a subsidy from the central budget to finance “possible extra cost” of leasing 150 buses, the decree said.
Earlier, the capital’s local council decided to contract bus service along the line for the time of the renovation, rather than buying Polish-made buses.
However, the decision hinged on a government commitment to guarantee the cost exceeding that of acquiring the buses in a resolution published by July 5.
