24-Hour News Summary
Budapest is planning a major upgrade to its public transport system. A new tram line will be built along the Danube side in Buda to help people move around more easily. At the same time, drivers in the north should be careful because a months-long renovation of the main road in Újpest is starting now. There is also news for city travel, as BKV buses will not be forced to refuel at specific stations despite new fuel rules, which helps keep the buses running on time.
In sports, the city's famous football team Ferencváros achieved a great victory against Braga, moving them closer to the next round of their tournament. For culture lovers, the Ludwig Museum just added hundreds of interesting books to its collection from a famous scholar. Meanwhile, local taxi drivers are noticing that working for apps like Bolt and Uber is becoming more expensive as old discounts disappear.
