Advertisements placed in stops, placards placed in the vehicles and information billboards in the junctions along the routes inform passengers about the changes and the timetable of various means of public transport. Local residents get detailed information about the substitution buses and redirection of traffic in fliers delivered to their mailbox.
Only one lane will be open for traffic along the Vámház Boulevard due to the construction of the metro station. The buses substituting trams will use the same traffic lane. Car owners are asked for patience and understanding because in the bus stops buses may hinder car traffic for a short while when passengers get on and off in the stops. At the same time patrons are asked to follow the parking rules so that the traffic of BKV vehicles is not hindered.
The general public will continuously receive news about the latest developments. For any updates or queries please call the Customer Service of BKV Private Limited Company at 06-1/461-6688 and 06-80/40-6688, or contact us at ugyfelszolgalat@bkv.hu for replies in E-mail.
We ask the patience and apprehension of local residents and passengers for any inconvenience until the completion of construction.
