Due to the technical breakdown of trams 4 and 6 on Wednesday morning, those responsible can be found in the field of communication, because if the authorities had told exactly why this decision had to be made at the time of the recall of the trams, then the indignation of the people of Budapest would have been much less. among them, said Lajos Dorner, head of VEKE, to Origo.
As is known, the Nagykörút trams did not run for hours on Wednesday morning. It was not until midday that it became clear to the public that the trams had slipped in the rainy weather due to the poor quality sand in them, and that is why they had to be recalled at dawn.
A shipment of low-quality sand was put into the trams, and the drivers noticed this and complained that the trams were slipping. After that, BKV correctly ordered the vehicles back to replace the sand, Lajos Dorner told Origo. According to the head of the Urban and Suburban Transportation Association, the officials made a mistake in not communicating openly about this, and thereby harmed the promotion of public transportation. If the problem had been accurately communicated at the time of the recall, people would have been much less outraged, as this decision was made in their interest. If there is someone responsible for the situation, then it must be clearly found on the communication side, said the head of VEKE.
