tömegközlekedésnek

Tömegközlekedésnek refers to public transportation in Hungarian. It encompasses the various systems and services that provide shared mobility for the general public. This includes modes of transport such as buses, trams, trolleybuses, metro systems, suburban and commuter trains, and sometimes ferries or other waterborne vessels in cities with significant waterways. The primary purpose of tömegközlekedésnek is to move a large number of people efficiently, often within urban or inter-urban areas, offering an alternative to private vehicle use.

Key characteristics of tömegközlekedésnek include scheduled services, designated routes and stops, and fares or ticketing systems. These services are typically operated by public authorities or private companies under public contract. The development and maintenance of public transportation networks are often seen as crucial for urban planning, environmental sustainability, economic development, and social equity. Efficient tömegközlekedésnek can reduce traffic congestion, lower air pollution, and provide access to employment, education, and social opportunities for individuals who may not own a car. In many Hungarian cities, particularly Budapest, the public transportation system is extensive and integrated, with various modes connecting to facilitate seamless travel.
