	Budapest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Budapest became a single city occupying both banks of the river Danube with the amalgamation in 1873 of right-bank Buda (Ofen in German) and Óbuda (Old Buda or Alt-Ofen) together with Pest on the left (east) bank.
		Budapest's recorded history begins with the Roman town of Aquincum, founded around 89 AD on the site of an earlier Celtic settlement near what was to become Óbuda, and from 106 until the end of the 4th century the capital of the province of lower Pannonia.

		Budapest saw the first major anti-Soviet unrest that culminated in the so-called Hungarian Uprising, taking place in the capital city to a large extent.
		Budapest is currently a valuable spa resort area that is able to capitalize on its rich thermal resources.
		Some of the pools built in Budapest during the Turkish thralldoms are still used today, like the Király Baths, Rác Baths, and Rudas Baths.

	Urban Transport Technology - Budapest Metro Four Mass Transit Underground System - Hungary
		The dynamic increase in the number of people living in the metropolitan area, the effect of new investments in the region and the continuous expansion of the Buda area are generating an increase in traffic that cannot be managed on the surface.
		During this period, a feasibility study for the first section of the 4th metro line was prepared with the intention of resolving the long missing mass transit link and determining the main parameters of the recommended solution.
		The 7.3km underground metro line with ten stations between Kelenfold railway station and Keleti railway station (with the possibility of extension in both directions) will be able to provide South Buda and the downtown area with adequate long-term service in conjunction with the priorities of urban development.

		That straight-line metro up Andrassy boulevard is worth a visit in itself -- only one short flight down from street level, it is decorated in wonder fin-de-siecle tiles and features photos of the vicinity of each station, as it was 100 years ago.
		Budapest operates 3 metro line (the M1 is the 2nd oldes line of the World!!from 1896).
		There isn't a metro stop that close to the National Theatre, for example, so I didn't use the metro when leaving an opera from there as you have to walk a ways in an area I didn't care to do that, although the tram goes right in front of it.

	Central Europe Review - Hungary: the National Theater
		Entering the Metro station on Kossuth Square after a leisurely stroll through the sludge-filled streets of Pest, every window sill lined with a huddle of pigeons, the Parliament dome iced like some Gothic cake maker's winter fantasy, the heat rising from the tunnels is like a sigh of relief.
		The metro would, seen from this angle at least, be a senseless waste of valuable funds, and trams are at least as environmentally friendly.
		In the meantime, Budapest Council has started court proceedings in an effort to obtain independent adjudication on whether or not the government is entitled to waive its contractual obligations unilaterally without facing legal penalties (the government, by scrapping the metro for the foreseeable future is also in direct contravention of a contract with the EIB).

		Unlike in Prague where metro construction was not done at the expense of the surface system, Budapest passengers board buses that are 9% more crowded than last year due to a 5% reduction in the vehicle fleet and a 7% reduction of the network.
		If the metro project goes forward, however, fares would have to be increased by another 71% even if the Municipality and the National Government picked up the entirety of the construction costs, just to cover the increase in depreciation costs within the 50% cost recovery ratio.
		The enormous national subsidies to the Prague metro were one of the major contentions of the SlovaksÕ decision to split from the Czech republic.

	Railway Technology - Budapest Metro Four Mass Transit Underground System - Hungary
		During this period, a feasibility study for the first section of the fourth metro line was prepared with the intention of resolving the missing mass-transit link and determining the main parameters of the recommended solution.
		Another very important goal of this study was to provide an economic assessment of the project that would provide a "bankable" basis in conformity with international practice, determine the costs and benefits, and assess the environmental impact.
		The construction costs for the metro line are about $335 million and construction began at the end of 1998, and the facility will open to passengers by 2003.

		For the purposes of this study, it is assumed that patronage growth beyond 2020 is negligible and therefore the growth in passenger demand is assumed to cease at 2020.
		The maximum loads of the LRT and metro services are expected to occur at the Danube crossing where they are expected to carry some 22,000 passengers during the peak hour in the peak direction or between 300,000 and 320,000 passengers in both directions per day.
		Finally, a pair-wise comparative analysis of the areas and population and employment served by each metro alignment was undertaken as a part of the short list assessment (LRT alignments being considered are identical to two of the metro alignments).

		But while CCTV cameras are present on Budapest's metro system, they are "live" systems data protection laws mean it is illegal for Budapest Transport (BKV Rt) to record and keep the film.
		No monitoring system is in place on metro trains, though given the ban on recordings, such a system would currently be of limited use.
		Since Budapest Transport's stations and vehicles qualify as public territory, the individual's consent would be needed for such data collection, regardless of how long the recording was kept.

		We took the subway (Metro) from somewhere east of the Parliament, under the river, to its Buda stop.
		Here's a hyperlink to the Budapest Metro website which will give you the idea that: 1)it's VERY easy to navigate the town 2)the connections are good 3) it's a user-friendly transit system.
		If perhaps you will stay in central Pest or something and rarely use the Metro, maybe you won't need it, but Budapest is a big city and unless you have a car/plan to drive everywhere, you will likely use it a few times at least.

		Those who have been around IETM for some years may (geographically) compare the Budapest Plenary with the meeting in Paris in 1995: one location for all the content sessions, whereas the artistic programme and the hotels are scattered in the city.
		Budapest has plenty of hotels, so there is no need to worry about finding places to stay at.
		From the beginning of this year all EU citizens over the age of 70 are allowed to use the services of the Hungarian State Railways, the Budapest Transport Company and those of the long distance inland Volán coaches free of charge in the same way as their Hungarian counterparts have done so far.
