Transport

There is a considerable difference between the road network and infrastructural development of the two city parts. Buda, the older part, produces constant crowding and traffic jams with its one-way streets and hilly parts. Due to the growing number of cars in the city, the drivers can expect continuous bumper-to-bumber situations on the Pest side as well. The road network of Pest was designed according to an overall plan which is based on the three semi-circular thoroughfares which start at the Danube on the North and end also at the Danube on the South. There are a number of interstecting straight avenues. The nine Danube bridges provide permeability between the city parts.

Budapest has a developed public transportation system. There are as much as 11 different means of transport on the streets of the city, some of which are considered really rare in the public transportation of a city (funicular, chair lift, cogwheel railway, narrow gauge railway, trolley bus and small boats). Currently three underground lines are in operation in the city, which intersect at one point (Deák Square). The construction of the fourth underground line is just about to be started in the near future.
