Róbert Homolya, who heads state-owned railway company MÁV, said almost 8 million passengers travel along the line each year.
Nine more of the KISS trains will operate on the line by the end of 2022, he added.
Ten of the KISS trains already operate on the Budapest-Vác line that runs to the north of the capital, and four on the Budapest-Cegléd line, in the southeast.
Hungary ordered 40 of the KISS trains from Switzerland's Stadler in 2017. The last will be delivered by the end of next year.
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.
