Hungary - Socialists promise free public transport

The Socialists would introduce free public transport for long-term residents of Budapest by 2013, the party's candidate for mayor Csaba Horváth told a May Day function in the City Park on Saturday.

He said transport would be free to those who have been residents of the capital for at least four years and students living in the city.

The free public transport could be funded from parking fees, and the introduction of "green zones" that could generate Ft 50 billion in Budapest, he said. politics.hu
