MÁV launched its third double-decker Kiss commuting train on Monday, the state railway company announced.

Now two Kiss trains operate along the Budapest-Vác line, and one connects the capital with Cegléd. The first Kiss train launched on the Vác line in August.

 

In tandem with Monday’s timetable updates, MÁV said fares have been cut for services to Keszthely, Nagykanizsa, Székesfehérvár, Veszprém, Szombathely, Zalaegerszeg and Lake Balaton’s south shore.

MÁV has also phased out high-speed supplementary charges along these lines, reducing fares by an average of 10%.
