Vitézy called out the former government for rechanneling funding from railway developments to motorway projects, while allowing the condition of lower-class roads to deteriorate.
He added that railways were the “foundation” for transportation decarbonization in Europe.
Vitézy said his first trip as minister was to Komló, where locals asked to re-open rail lines that had been shut down three years earlier.
He added that the Tisza government had a “clear mandate” to change transportation policy. Hungarians are of the mind that public transportation is “not a privilege but a right” and the new government aims to develop it further, he said.
Priorities in future include a strong and sustainable public transport system, data-driven digital solutions and the involvement of communities in the decisionmaking process, he added.
