VEKE's Results So Far
- November 1, 2003: Budapest tram line no. 41 is extended from Móricz Zsigmond körtér to Batthyány tér due to the fact the reconstruction of körter destroys the old turnaround and does not allow 41 to switch tracks in the new station due to the extensive traffic of the 47, 18, and 118 trams.
- July 1, 2005: Volánbusz lines to Érd got a new timetable (buses at nights and in weekends)
- July 4, 2005: Budapest bus line 112 is extended
- September 1, 2005: Reform of the night service in Budapest
- October 29, 2005: A new tram is introduced on the Budapest no. 52 tram line (TW 6000 trams from Hannover)
- December 3, 2005: Reform of the no. 7 bus family (7, fast 7, 73, 173)
- February 2006: Modifications in the parameter book of BKV (the BKV wanted to dissolve some buslines)
- Spring 2006: Tram line no. 6's turnaround on Móricz Zsigmond körtér is destroyed due to noise reasons, and building for a new tram stop for the no. 6 is built.
VEKE presented some serious plans for further improvement of Budapest's city transport. Maybe the most important is the proposed uniting of the Gödöllő HÉV line and metro line 2. The city government did not totally agree with the plan (because of lack of money and because they think the present system is still working fine), but it still may be built after 2015.
Other plans include the extension of the cog railway of Budapest to Széll Kálmán tér and Normafa and the rebuilding of the tram lines between Thököly road and the Small Boulevard.

Famous quotes containing the word results:
“There is not a single rule, however plausible, and however firmly grounded in epistemology, that is not violated at some time or other. It becomes evident that such violations are not accidental events, they are not results of insufficient knowledge or of inattention which might have been avoided. On the contrary, we see that they are necessary for progress.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
