Trains running today have also been carrying refugees from Keleti to the Hungarian-Austrian border, and refugees are able to cross the frontier on foot, according to reports.
While knowingly transporting refugees is a crime, it was not clear if the Hungarian police would seek to stop the convoy as it makes a trip back over the border into Austria. Hungarian police said they treat each case of suspected refugee transportation individually, according to index.hu.
The convoy is large, and receiving wide press coverage, so police may choose to leave the drivers from Austria alone.
