📋 Tender Overview
Budapest Gyongyos June 16 2026 - From the beginning of the vacation there will be a significant change for those who go on trips to Matra and those who live in the area: from June 20 2026 we will completely renew the bus service. We are eliminating the previous network which was fragmented at the county borders and introducing a much more logical easy-to-remember paced schedule. Our goal is simple: whether its a daily commute or a weekend hike public transportation should be the most convenient and predictable choice.
With the new timetable we have created a uniform transparent and passenger-friendly system that not only makes sustainable travel more attractive for tourists visiting Matra but also makes the everyday life of those commuting to work and school significantly easier with its extended operating hours.
You no longer need to regularly browse the timetable because the buses will run regularly from June 20. Flights between Gyongyos and Matra depart every 30-60 minutes on weekdays and every half hour throughout the day on weekends. Kekesteto can be reached from Gyongyos (or with a transfer from Matrahaza) at least every hour and Galyateto and Matraszentim can be reached every two hours from Gyongyos and Paszto and even every hour from Paszto on weekends. Buses run more frequently in the eastern part of Matra including in the area of Paradsasvar Parad and Recsk.
The backbone of public transport in the region is also the railway which is why we adapted the buses to the trains. In Gyongyos we established a new bus stop directly at the train station so a more convenient transfer is guaranteed. Buses are directly connected to the Matra InterRegios which arrive every hour from Budapest: those departing from the capital can reach Matrahaza Kekesteto Galyateto or Parad every hour with a quick transfer at Gyongyos. We also improved the train connections in Paszto and Eger.
By connecting the shorter flights we eliminated the borders between Heves and Nograd counties. We have created longer direct lines so from June 20 we will provide a regular all-day connection between Salgotarjan and Eger (with a journey time of 1 hour and 50 minutes) we will add a new connection starting every two hours on the Salgotarjan-Eger-Mezokovesd-Miskolc axis and we will connect Gyongyos with Petervasar with direct flights.
Matrahaza Parad Recsk Sirok and Petervasara will become real transport hubs. Buses wait for each other here so trips within the region become much faster and easier.
