MÁV introduces ticket gates at Budapest Nyugati station
MÁV's damages from Sunday's storm were over Ft 4 million, the state railway company announced. MÁV incurred most of the losses due to short-circuit on the trolley system, but damage to train tracks also occurred.
In other news, the company expects to recoup in one year the cost of building a Ft 35 million metal ticket gate inside Nyugati train station, from extra ticket sales. With the investment MÁV wants to cut losses caused by fare dodgers on suburban lines.
