Marku told MTI that the Russian company is currently working on the refurbishment of two trains, each comprising six carriages.
The first train was delivered to Budapest in late May. The second is due to be delivered from Russia to Budapest in early November and a third in the middle of November. Metrowagonmash plans to deliver two refurbished trains per month thereafter.
Budapest transport company BKV and Metrowagonmash signed a EUR 219 million contract on the refurbishment of the 37 trains for the capitalʼs M3 metro line in August 2015.
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.
