“The sand is to blame,” Budapest sighs and laughs at the traffic chaos – Metropol
The angry people of Budapest were mothers, they were already laughing in their torment and making memes, because it turned out that everything could be done in the sand… 9 posts were posted by the mayor from Wednesday morning to Thursday noon on the Facebook page. We would think of traffic because the traffic and main tram line of the city he drives stops for half a day due to the first major rain: this is when a good city manager works on the solution, trying to reassure everyone and looking for decisions.
Christmas is not interested in the problems of the people of Budapest
But not, Gergely Christmas Of the 9 posts, none of the residents of Budapest received, only dealing with their own pre-election campaign – because they want to be prime minister…
The management of the capital and BKK also listened to the shutdown for hours, only around noon did the BKV leader give an interview to a news portal, which revealed: tram 4-6 stopped because wet sand got into the nozzles sprinkling the anti-slip sand onto the track, which became clogged.
It is thanks to the tram drivers that we escaped the accidents
It was up to the sobriety of the tram drivers that there was no bigger problem: as it turned out, they were out of circulation in series because we didn’t feel the sliding Combos were safe. But this could not be learned from the city administration: the City Hall was silent, and our questions have not been answered since. According to the BKK statement issued at 12.40 “In all cases, the dropout was caused by clogging caused by sand particles that had adhered to the wet weather conditions and caused by sand contaminated with dust.” So they are prepared for everything, not just “wet weather”…
“Vote for me” – the tram is not interesting…
“Because solving the everyday problems of service and people is what you want to politicize!” – Gergely Karácsony posted this at noon yesterday. But this post was not about stopping trams either, but about having to vote for it in the pre-election. We would like to say this: the common problem of people is when there is no tram, the rest is just duma…
What do the people of Budapest say?
They joke…
Ferenc K.: “Hofi came to mind: Road manager after the first snow fell: We were prepared for winter, but we did not expect snow!” Zsolt P.: “The sand is not like it used to be” Ildikó L.: “Now the evil SAND is the fault”
B. Róbert: “I demand that the rain stop! Most!” Katalin D.: “Why are we surprised? Christmas said you can step back when a tram hits you! You have to prevent that! “ Csaba K.: “A bike lane on the tram tracks too!” Andrea T.: “What will happen here if the snow falls?”
Balázs H.: “Toboggan run will be selected.” Sarolta S.: “Gergely will recommend a sledge, I think…” Mrs. F. Györgyné: “The 41 consultants gave a good tip for buying sand.” Ernő B.: “They weren’t prepared for it because they weren’t prepared for the winter snowfall…”.
… And they mother
F. Szilvia: “While Geri was holding a press conference, traffic in the capital stopped! No subway, tram! Buses and cars can’t travel either! This man wants to be prime minister! “ Katalin K.: “Why do you take your salary if you don’t do your thing !!!!!!! Zsuzsanna T.: “I hope those who voted for these capitalists are now satisfied and happy. And it is still necessary for someone to write that even in the time of Stubble there was a plug, a pipe, a malfunction, I say: no, that was not it. There weren’t that many traffic jams, there weren’t that many pipes, there was no dirt and chaos. This was all brought to the capital by carigels! K. Joli: “Christmas is not worth dealing with such matters. Now it is busy with Márki-Péter Péter to step back.”
Fidesz politicians did not miss the high ball either:
Zsolt Wintermantel: “How big was Tarlós that it had never rained in his nine years!” Tamás Deutsch: “Gergely Christmas cannot be hit by the tram. Because it doesn’t work. ”
The information also collapsed
Hundreds of thousands of travelers did not receive normal information yesterday as to what to expect. The busiest tram line in Budapest was completely shut down, but the BKK Info Facebook page could only be read for hours that there was no indication “due to a vehicle error” that practically the entire vehicle fleet had to be taken out of service… Passengers could thus think that everything would be restored soon, no one expected during the morning peak that there would be no tram until noon.
Christmas chaos: all closed at once
At the beginning of the summer, after a long procrastination, Gergely Karácsony closed everything in the capital at once, so for months, traffic chaos has not eased: cars still often waste an hour and a half or two in gigantic traffic jams. This is what the tram buses have come to realize… Motorists have been mowing in the city center since the spring due to the bicycle lane, meanwhile the mayor started to rebuild the lower quay of Pest during the the reconstruction of the Blaha Lujza square, where lane closures, diversions and concrete blocks make it difficult to get around due to the cycle lanes.
