Users now receive recommendations for connections on the basis of the latest traffic situation. This makes Budapest one of the first cities in Europe to offer live timetable information via the Google service.īy linking up with the real-time BKK feed, Google Maps can now show passengers info like whether a bus is running late, or a train is ahead of schedule. These attached systems now include Google Maps in addition to the local dynamic passenger information service, digital stop displays, smartphone apps, and the BKK Website. The IT provider processes the incoming data, calculates updated departure times and passes these on via an interface to attached systems.

These include not only the buses, trams and trolley buses but also the boat services operating on the River Danube and the historical cog-wheel railway.

The passenger information system of the Budapest public transportation authorities (BKK) - supported by an external IT provider - bring together all the positional data that the operational control centre continually receives from some 2,200 BKK vehicles in Hungary’s capital city.
