Long-term Transport Development Plan for Budapest
Agglomeration (1980)
•

•
•
Budapest and its agglomeration were involved
National housing estate development program – development of public
transport (1976-1990: 300 000 new flats – high-capacity urban rail network,
diagonal metro line, city center connections)
Handling of the traffic volumes from new highways and main roads
M0, circular elements of the radial network of Budapest, capacity expansion
of Danube bridges (Szabadság híd 2x2, Lágymányosi híd 2x3, 16% of travels
are private)
Traffic calming measures and pedestrian network in inner city
Centralized logistics and taxi service
Implementation in two steps, without deadline

Transport development plans in the 80s and 90s
Long-term Transport Development Plan (1987)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Based on representative travel survey
Less new estates and transport projects (less financial
resources) – „temporary solutions” (tram to Káposztásmegyer)
Traffic calming for the inner city: diagonal main roads
New bridge on Danube in every 5 years (2000: ÚjpestAquincum, 2005: Danube tunnel, 2010: Csepel-Albertfalva)
Independent bicycle chapter (weekend and leisure traffic)
Parking recommendation, logistics regulation
Two development periods (until 2000 and long-term)

•
Deteriorated transport system (public transport)
European connections (Helsinki Corridors)
Transport development: only reasonable, necessary measures (the support of
increasing road traffic demand is undesirable)
Keep the functions of the city – Integration of transport modes, interoperability
Target: fixed-rail transport network development
Aviation, public boat transport
Demand management (land use development tools, BKSZ…)
Commuter bicycle traffic
Traffic analysis of new shopping malls (logistics, environment protection)
Two development horizons: till 2015 and long-term (designed facilities are introduced
in separated projects)
Deficiency: it does not contain project rankings

The Development Plan of the Transport System of Budapest
Reviewed System Development Plan (2009)
•
•
•
The document was developed by an expert team of several market professionals
Milestones (planning method):
• Concept (interim report, 2008 June, ~50 pages)
• Long-term concept and recommended development plans until 2020 (2009
March, ~150 pages + ~500 pages supporting material)
• Approved network development plans until 2020 and the analysis of project
rankings (2009 August, ~50 pages)
12 priorities: (1) decrease mobility demand, (2) improve the conditions of nonmotorized transport, (3) optimize traffic flows, (4) transform regulatory, institutional
and financial background, (5) develop fixed-rail networks, (6) modernization of public
transport vehicles, (7) bypass network for protected zones, (8) improve parking, (9)
improve suitability of suburban and urban fixed-rail networks, (10) integration of the
city and its agglomeration, (11) improve availability, develop tracks and stations, (12)
freight traffic and goods transport, city logistics development

Introduction of integrated fare system
New elements: congestion charging system, interconnecting tram lines
The plan was approved by the General Assembly of Budapest with smaller additions

International Cooperation
R&D projects – CATCH-MR
CATCH-MR – Cooperative Approaches to Transport
CHallenges in Metropolitan Regions
• Main goals were: research of good practices for
sustained settlement and greening transport in
metropolitan regions, chances of realization
within the partner regions.
• The Final guide compiles the main results of the
three-year cooperation. It visualizes the different
framework conditions in the seven metropolitan
regions, presents examples of good practice,
explains the collected experience and uses this as
the basis for formulating altogether 15 policy
recommendations. In this way, it acted as the
material basis for the Final Conference.
45
International Cooperation
R&D projects – TIDE, NODES
•
TIDE – Transport Innovation Deployment for Europe:
Budapest is the Cluster Leader City in Public
Transport Organization cluster. The main role is to
further develop two innovative concept: creation of
public transport management bodies for
metropolitan areas (BKK Concept) and marketing
research as optimization tool in public transport.
•
NODES – New tOols for Design and opEration of
urban transport interchangeS: NODES will build a
toolbox to support European cities in the design
and operation of new or upgraded interchanges.
BKK is one of the 9 test sites of the project.
