Answering a question at a press conference, the mayor said that a “realistic” start for the renovation was June next year. However, he added that further delays could possibly occur if bids submitted were not “more reasonable,” Hungarian news agency MTI reported.

The renovation of the metro line, which some experts have said is in a worrying condition, should have started this month, but the starting date was later postponed to February or March next year.

The Hungarian capital could face serious traffic jams if the renovation of its busiest Metro Line 3 is not solved properly, and the Center for Budapest Transport (BKK) is currently working on possible solutions, online news portal index.hu reported at the end of October.
