The long road to Uber’s return has finally reached the finish line in Hungary, after receiving the license to operate in cooperation with Főtaxi. The Budapest Transport Center and the National Transport Authority also gave the green light to the start of Budapest.

After developing the organizational background behind the cooperation between Uber and Főtaxi, on February 27, F Mobilitás Kft., a subsidiary of Főtaxi, submitted the request for a dispatch service license. After obtaining the permit, the Uber team is now tasked with recruiting drivers to the platform, which interested parties will soon be able to join. The service, which is expected to start at the beginning of summer, is already highly anticipated in Budapest.

Last year, the application, which has been inactive for many years, was launched nearly 100,000 times in Budapest, which shows that the local demand is very significant.
