“As a responsible and conscious service provider, we feel it to be our responsibility to make the situation [of heavy smog] better with our own tools,” the press statement says. Therefore, for as long as the smog alert is in place, the company says it will offer free registration.
At the beginning of the week, Budapest Mayor István Tarlós triggered the smog alert for the capital, which means that cars falling into the 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 environment level classification cannot be used in the capital between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. (The classification level is found on the registration papers of each vehicle; the higher the number, the more environmentally friendly the car.) Motorists who fail to keep to the rule can be fined up to HUF 150,000, according to reports.
GreenGo launched Hungary’s first electric car sharing service in the heart of Budapest at the end of November. For those who would like to be part of the service, a downloadable application for iOs and Android smartphones is available, as well as registration on the serviceʼs official website.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
