BKK

" BKK operates 4 metro lines (...)"

BKK doesn't operate anything (well, a couple of mobile traffic accident investigators by them exist). They are a transport association akin to Transport for London, who will order and pay public transport services and organise ticketing (amongst other things).

The actual providers of BKK are Budapesti Közlekedési Zrt. (which operates Metros, Trams, Trolleybuses and many buses), Hungarian State Railways (local railways and BHÉV suburban railways), Arriva (Buses) and one of the Volánbusz subsidiaries (also Buses), together with a couple of smaller companies ~2025-28747-43 (talk) 15:47, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Metropolitan Area size discrepancy

The Budapest Metropolitan Area wiki page lists its population as 2,577,384 including Budapest. This page claims that size to be 3.3 million multiple times. This discrepancy needs to be investigated and corrected, or otherwise explained.

For what it's worth, KSH (Hungary's national statistics agency) seems to be the most trustworthy source, their 2023 report supports the the 2.5 million number. ~2026-45852-1 (talk) 16:49, 21 January 2026 (UTC)

Mismatched picture and description

In the Public Transporation section, next ot the 3rd paragraph there is a picture of a mercedes-bent citargo g on the line 8E, but the picture says that it is a picture of a volvo 7900A hybrid, on line 5. MajorPartagaz (talk) 12:22, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Climate classification

At the climate classification section, isn’t it better to write that Budapest has a bordering: “humid subtropical climate”, rather then a:”humid temperate climate”? it is written as Cfa anyway… ~2026-33857-61 (talk) 14:00, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

The current solution is a clunky compromise reached after multiple weeks of disscussion here. "Humid temperate" refers to both humid subtropical and oceanic climates, so it does work. But, you're right, under normal circumstances Cfa is humid subtropical. Uness232 (talk) 21:07, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
