The first of the EU funds released: a new tram line will be built between St Gellért Square and Budafoki Road

The Hungarian Minister of Transport and Investment, Vitézy Dávid, has signed a 32.2 billion forint European Union funding agreement for the continuation of the Buda Funicular tram network. This marks the first major transportation project to start using newly freed EU funds, which became available after years of delays. The new electric tram line will run between Szent Gellért Square and the Buda Castle Road, passing through the Műegyetem quay. The project had been planned for years but was halted under the previous ministry led by Lázár János. Construction of infrastructure works is expected to begin this autumn, with larger construction phases starting next year. The new section is scheduled to open in 2029.
