Hungarian Trams- Budapest Part 2

The capital of Hungary is the large city of Budapest. Situated on the river Danube, the west bank is the older and hilly Buda, the east bank is the larger and newer Pest. There are many superb buildings, especially the Hungarian Parliament building that looks impressive whether it is day or night time. There is a vast tramway network, which includes normal street running trams and former light rail cars from Hannover, as well as a trolleybus system, metro and a cog-wheel railway. For the purpose of our programme we have divided it into two parts. Part one features mostly the trams running in central Budapest, with part two featuring the trolleybuses, light rail and the trams running in the suburbs, with a brief visit to the cog-wheel railway. We also see the buses on both programmes as they integrate with the trams and trolleybuses. Electric trams were introduced in 1887.
