Budapest Tales

The book presents a selection of exciting, nostalgic, humorous or even sadder episodes of the capital's public transport, ten stories, ten chapters from the more than 150-year history of Budapest.

What horse-drawn vehicles once drove on the roads of the capital? What technical innovations of the capital's means of transport were admired by the Brazilian emperor? How were tram routes marked before numbering? When did women first take up work in Budapest's transport? What precautions were introduced on Budapest's vehicles during the Spanish flu? What steps preceded the transition to right-hand traffic in the capital? Why did they start numbering trolleybus routes in the 1970s? How did tram libraries help spread culture? We can find answers to these questions, among others, by leafing through the book.

The bilingual publication, illustrated with many photos, can be read in Hungarian and English.
