ELTIS, the European Local Transport Information Service, is a web portal providing news and information on sustainable mobility. The Case Studies section of the website (www.eltis.org/case_study) contains hundreds of examples of urban and regional transport, allowing transport practitioners to learn from others and thereby accelerate the uptake of proven innovations. Five of the case studies were prepared by the REC for distribution in printed form in eight languages.
This factsheet describes how a citizens' pressure group prompted the Budapest public transport authority to expand the night-bus service in 2005, doubling passenger numbers while causing minimal impact on the budget.
