TaxiTrack: New App to Promote Safer Taxi Services in Budapest
The Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) is introducing its own app, TaxiTrack, to support safer and passenger-friendly taxi services, and its use will be mandatory for all taxi providers from June 1, the BKK said on Monday.

The app provides real-time data to assist transport organisers and inspections, as well as serving the interests of passengers while ensuring the compliance of service providers.

Under a regulation that entered into force on January 1, 2025, taxi companies are required to provide real-time data on vehicle location, as well as the start and end of the taximeter, to the transport organiser.

The TaxiTrack app provides an accurate picture of the current location of taxis and records the start and end of a journey. The system continuously re

ords GPS data and the current status of the vehicle.

"All this information greatly contributes to transparent and safe taxi use. The new digital solution not only simplifies administration for providers but also makes inspections more effective," the BKK said.

The introduction of the system will begin with a grace period, meaning the BKK will focus on gathering experience rather than imposing immediate sanctions.
