Railway PRO: Can you outline the most important projects that are to be launched in Hungary in order to improve rail traffic and rail lines capacity? Giving priority to the railway transportation has not only theoretical but tangible results and this will be so in the future as well: Hungary will use the resources of transport operational program and funds of Connecting Europe Facility for railway development purposes between and We are focusing on the planned infrastructure development by which we aim to eliminate the bottlenecks and to reduce travel times.
Moreover, the rolling stock will also be modernized. For example, 42 new motor units from Stadler will start its operation this and next year, passenger coaches will have free Wi-Fi internet access, and coaches used in suburban traffic will be renewed. What are the next steps in this respect?
Our transport policy is in line with all of this: we are definitely focusing on the strengthening and speeding up of the policy of opening to the East in case of railway transportation as well. Several transcontinental routes of the European rail network cross Hungary. Contrast: High Normal. Skip to main content. You are here Key facts about Hungary.

Hungary has a central location in Europe, at the crossroads of four main European transportation corridors, including: No. V from the Adriatic ports to Kiev-Moscow; No.
The highest gross fixed capital formation investment in inland transport infrastructure expressed as a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product GDP in occurred in China 5. Among these, China experienced the fastest growth for this indicator, increasing 2. The European inland transport infrastructure investment share of GDP has remained stable at 0.
The lowest levels of inland transport infrastructure investment share of GDP for were reported in Montenegro 0. The most notable declines from to occurred in the Russian Federation 1. Seventeen countries across Europe as well as Canada, Japan and the Russian Federation, had lower levels of inland transport infrastructure investment share of GDP in when compared to levels. Despite the decline in Georgia, its inland infrastructure investment share of GDP was one of the highest of all countries with available data in at 2.
China and India are among the top five countries that experienced the strongest growth since , according to the latest available data on volumes of investment in inland transport infrastructure Figure 2. Despite the recent stagnation of inland transport infrastructure investments in India, its volume of spending was nevertheless two times larger in when compared to levels. The European countries with the strongest growth in investment in inland transport infrastructure between and are Turkey, Greece, Norway, and the United Kingdom Figure 2.
In Western, Central and Eastern Europe, there are contrasting trends in the evolution of the share of inland transport infrastructure investment used for road over the past decade Figure 4. About the statistics The International Transport Forum statistics on investment, maintenance expenditure and capital value of transport infrastructure for are based on a survey sent to current ITF member countries. Open access railway infrastructure: the length of the Hungarian rail network is km.
There are no high-speed lines in Hungary. The national infrastructure includes 2, kilometres of lines operating as part of the Trans-European freight corridors, as well as all other major nation-wide railway lines.
The Hungarian government also considers the country to provide a favourable geo-strategic position as four of the ten pan-European transport corridors affect the country. Hungary is located at the intersection of these corridors, which should enable the logistics industry to develop hub functions for regional and international freight flows.
The renewal of rolling stock is essential for a better quality of service and operation of public and freight transport.
At the same time upgrading plans should be based on railway master plans which include an analysis of the role and potential of lines, as well as integrated approaches to market and operate the line.
