Due to F1 and the Sziget, tourism in Budapest has picked up

The summer brought a buzz to Budapest reminiscent of the times before the epidemic, and one of the reliable indicators of the revival of tourism is the development of taxi traffic. The growth of tourism is also supported by the data of Főtaxi: the company can close the entire summer season with a total of nearly 650,000 vehicles, which means a fleet performance of 7.5 million kilometers, close to the same period of the peak year of 2019. Events such as Formula 1 and festivals play a key role in the growth: more than 90,000 people used Főtaxi’s services during the week of the Hungarian Grand Prix, and around 130,000 people are expected to travel with the company’s cars during the upcoming Sziget period.
