• Photo Report: Latest News & Views Of Budapest's Metro Line 4

    • 7 Nov 2012 8:00 AM

    The construction of Metro line 4 is currently the biggest construction project in Central Europe. M4, or the green line of Budapest Metro, has already experienced one or two delays, and recently Budapest Mayor István Tarlós said it may be postponed until 2016. However according to paperwork put through by Budapest's City Assembly last Wednesday, the completion deadline is now Spring of next year. 2010 was originally planned as M4's opening year when BKV concluded an agreement with Siemens in 2006. Supervisory authorities must approve the new plan, under which BKV will apparently pay an additional Euro 32 million and waive all of its indemnity and penalty claims. Also last week Magyar Nemzet reported Balazs Szeneczey, Budapest's deputy mayor, stating that EUR 1.6bn will be M4's total cost.

And that’s true. So much of what we hear these days (the lousy stuff, anyway) is willfully insular; Jonathan Meiburg’s songs, by contrast, have constantly tackled bigger questions and been propelled by massive musical ambitions.
