Hungarian Railways Accused of Hiding Train Delays

Budapest, Hungary - June 10, 2025. Hungarian politician Dávid Vitézy has accused the Hungarian State Railways (MÁV) of systematically removing delayed train information from its app. Vitézy claims this is an attempt to hide the extent of delays and prevent passengers from claiming compensation. "They're trying to make it seem like there are no delays," Vitézy stated in a video posted online. Vitézy presented examples of trains that were removed from the app's schedule despite being significantly delayed. The MÁV press office responded by calling Vitézy's allegations false, claiming this is a standard procedure. However, Vitézy argues that the scale of this practice is unprecedented. The incident highlights concerns about transparency and accountability within the MÁV. The video has gained significant traction online, sparking a public debate about the issue.
