Remarkable change in the parking system at Budapest’s busy railway station
Change language:
From July, you will have to pay for P+R parking in Őrmező, Kelenföld, near one of Budapest’s busiest railway stations.
No more free parking at Kelenföld from July
From July, between 6 AM and 10 PM, those who want to use the P+R parking spaces near Kelenföld railway station, will have to pay HUF 350 (EUR 0.94) per parking space, Budapest Közút Zrt. said in a statement, spotted by Totalcar.hu. The car parks have been free of charge until now.
According to the company, one of the conditions of the EU funds received during the investment of metro line M4 was that the 1,453 parking spaces in the Őrmező P1, P2 and Etele Square P1, P2 car parks could be used free of charge for five years. These car parks were built as part of the development. However, that period expired on 17 November 2022.
Even on public holidays and weekends
The details of the payment and camera surveillance system will be finalised by the summer. From then on, it will cost money to wait in these spaces even on public holidays and weekends.
