GySEV takes over MÁV routes

Written by Christina Vontin

The Győr-Sopron-Ebenfurth Railway (GySEV) will gradually take over public passenger transport on several MÁV railway lines from 1 July.

This was announced by the Ministry of Construction and Transport. Transport Minister János Lázár had already announced at the beginning of the year that GySEV would play a significantly greater role in the organisation of rail transport in the future.

The changes affect a total of 750 kilometres of railway lines, mainly in western Hungary. The takeover will not be automatic for all passenger transport. Specifically, GySEV will initially take over operations on the route between Zalaegerszeg and Celldömölk from 1 July 2025. The further implementation will take place in several stages, coordinated between the two railway companies.
