The Budapest municipal transport company BKV donated to Ukraine buses that were taken off the roads of the Hungarian capital but can still be used, the state news agency MTI reports.
15 vehicles – five solo Volvos and ten articulated Ikarus models – were handed over on Monday by Gergely Karácsony, Mayor of Budapest, and Tibor Bolla, CEO of BKV Plc. to István Balog, Ukraine's representative in Hungary.
Since this summer, the company has received several requests from Ukraine to offer buses, but until now, BKV had no operational reserve of vehicles that could be taken out of service, the Budapest official said, adding that now, however, thanks to bus replacements, several buses that could continue to operate have been freed up.
They recalled that BKV had already been helping the neighboring country and its people fleeing to Hungary on several occasions, with buses where people could be warm and with humanitarian aid.
