The aim of our article is to describe the connection between the Hungarian political environment and the development of the transport system of the Hungarian capital, Budapest, since the beginning of economic transition. The starting point of our research is the beginning of the transitions as from this period the political parties had the chance to make changes in the transport sector in order to build a liveable city. The authors have reviewed the urban transport programs of the parties, which they planned to realize in the case of winning the elections. The authors have dealt only with parties which were present in the Parliament during all parliamentary periods since 1990. The authors have investigated four parameters: length of express roads and the length of the M0 ring road as a parameter of economic growth and development, service levels (length of services, average age of vehicles, number of vehicles) of BKV (a monopoly responsible for urban transport in Budapest) and the length of cycle paths.
Az utóbbi években a fővárosi közlekedés kapcsán csak a hangos botrányok mozgatják meg a médiát és a lakosságot. Nem tudunk örülni az új kerékpárutaknak, a közforgalmú közösségi közlekedés új eszközeinek. Vajon ezek az észre nem vagy alig vett dolgok valóban jelentéktelenek? A tanulmány Budapest közlekedésfejlődését vizsgálja az elmúlt 20 év politikai változásainak tükrében.
