Surprising Number of Passengers Took MÁV-Volán Group Trains, Buses Last Year
Close to 700 million passengers rode on the trains and buses of state-owned MÁV-Volán group last year, MÁV said.

Almost 97 million passengers rode on MÁV-Start long-distance trains last year, while the business registered 4.75 billion passenger-kilometres, up from 3.1 billion in 2021.

The share of long-distance rail tickets purchased online or using the MÁV mobile application reached 35% and the share bought at ticket machines rose to 18%.

Around 63 million passengers travelled on MÁV-HEV rapid suburban rail trains in and around the capital last year.

Volánbusz buses carried 539 million passengers and registered 6.9 billion passenger-kilometres in 2022.
