Budapest’s newest buses were showcased during the capital’s car-free weekend, the mayor’s office told MTI on Saturday, referencing a social media post by Mayor Gergely Karácsony.

“I am proud that, despite government austerity, the vehicle fleet has been renewed at such level in recent years that today there are no high-floor buses on the roads of the capital,” Karácsony said.

Currently, 30 electric vehicles are waiting to be prepared to be put into service. BKK has placed an order for a total of 70 new — 50 solo and 20 articulated — fully electric BYD buses equipped with modern assistance systems to be put into service in Budapest by 2027.

Mercedes-Benz Citaro K buses were also showcased at the event. The fleet, consisting of 65 vehicles, will be gradually put into service in the capital.
