Lake Balaton Ferries Carried Many More Passengers This Summer
The ships of Lake Balaton ferry company Bahart had carried 1.23 million passengers by the end of the summer.

This represents an increase of 5% compared to last year, the company said in a press release.

The number of passengers traveling on Bahart’s boats came to approximately 791,000 by the end of August. This represents a major increase of some 20% from a year earlier.

The ferry company noted that it had put new ferries and catamarans into service with HUF 6 billion in government support.

Online ticket sales, which rose by 30% over the summer, and purchases at ticket machines accounted for about one-quarter of all ticket sales in the summer season, the press release said.

    Monosyllabic and a little difficult to pronounce, Vác does not sound like an inviting place. It is, however, one of the loveliest small towns in Hungary, or as they say in Italian, a laughing little town. 35 kilometres from Budapest, it has escaped unscathed all the ravages of the sixties and seventies, preserved like a fly in amber so that it looks today much as it must have in the eighteenth century.
