Coronavirus: Volánbusz Lifts Low Limit On Passengers Per Bus Around Hungary
Volánbusz has lifted the 30% occupancy ceiling on the number of passengers after the coronavirus emergency task force approved the move, the state coach line operator announced on Thursday.

As life is gradually returning to normal, more and more people are travelling by bus, the company said.

Volánbusz is still asking travellers to wear masks or cover their face on board, with the exception of young children.

The company recommends that passengers opt for off-peak hour services whenever possible.
