📋 Tender Overview
As of July 1 2026 public transport at night in the capital and its surroundings will be significantly transformed. The goal of the joint development of the MAV group and BKK the creation of the new nighttime public transport network is to ensure more predictable denser and more direct nighttime connections between the agglomeration and downtown Budapest with better connections to the Budapest nighttime network.
Thanks to the development direct connections to the city center will be expanded. The routes of many suburban blue bus lines are being changed so that the city center of Budapest can be reached directly from several settlements. In addition the night service is improving on several yellow bus lines. By improving network integration the new timetables and routes ensure a seamless connection to Budapests night buses trams and late evening/night trains.
The main changes:
Blue suburban bus routes: improvements are taking place in the areas of Godollo Gyal Torokbalint Budaors Budakeszi Zsambek Budakalasz Pomaz Szentendre Pecel Nagykovacsi Solymar and Szigetszentmiklos: more frequent departures new routes more precise transfers.
Yellow regional bus routes: new night routes to major cities located in Budapests catchment area (Dunakeszi Vac Erd Ecser Maglod Gyomro area) that are adjusted to the operating hours of the metro as well as providing direct connections from the Nagykorut trams during the night hours outside of them.
Rail and bus connections:
The improvement of railway connections also received special attention: new night bus services at the Solymar railway station and the Szahahalombatta railway station help passengers arriving from the trains to continue their journey to the city center.
