There is a chance to resurrect combined transportation

The Hungarian Association of Logistics Service Centres (MLSZKSZ), believes that the intermodal (combined) transport can be made competitive without state aid.

According to the MLSZKSZ, 5 percent of the road traffic can be directed to rail. With this step, state road maintenance costs would decrease by an almost 78 billion HUF a year, and the railway companies’ traffic would be increased by 8.3 million tons as well as the revenues of the MÁV.

If the required improvements will fail, due to the more expensive highway tolls transit freight traffic keep off Hungary, so Hungary can be easily deleted from the map of international shipping routes.
