Following Record Late Train Data, Hungarian Railways Stops Reporting Punctuality Info
After posting record low punctuality rates for July and August, state railway company MÁV has not published the September data, mass transit campaigner Dávid Vitézy noted on Facebook.

Only 36.4% of trains with mandatory seat reservations were on time (i.e. less than five minutes late) in July and even fewer, 32.8%, in August. Both figures were record lows.

The figure never fell below 50% before 2022 and was still close to 45% last August.

The July data were released in ten days, the August data in nine days, and previously 7-10 days was the norm, but now the statistics have not been published 28 days after the end of the month.
