Budapest transport company chief steps down
BKV CEO Attila Antal offered to step down yesterday, due to poor health. He was rushed to hospital with heart problems earlier this year after a scandal on procuring BKV buses erupted.
The scandal was that Alfa Busz, winner of a contract to provide 84 used buses to the BKV, had had dealings with Antal's son. The Székesfehérvár company put in the only bid, offering to supply the buses for Ft 4 billion.
In addition, Antal had won a BKV contract in a joint bid with Alfa Busz in 2004 and 2006, when he was head of Volán bus company's Nógrád county operations.
Antal was appointed by Budapest city council in late 2006.
