Mayor: Budapest No Longer To Finance Agglomeration Transport
The municipality of Budapest will no longer finance the public transportation of the city’s agglomeration, Mayor István Tarlós said. The suburbs of the city will have to talk to the state about this issue, he said. Tarlós said as mayor he could not consent to law amendments passed last week which would put a dent of 20.7 billion forints (EUR 65.88m) into Budapest’s budget.

Tarlós did not take any questions at the end of his press conference but said talks between him and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán would continue in January.
