Multimodal transportation in Budapest

Multimodal transportation involves using two or more modes of transportation in a trip. In an efficient public transportation network the passenger can combine a smaller number of fast, technologically advanced transportation systems (e.g. underground railway) with a larger number of slower modes of transportation that cover the area in a denser fashion (buses, walking). A major goal of modern multimodal passenger transportation (from an environmental aspect, but also to reduce traffic jams) is to incentivize using public transport as opposed to using automobiles.
