Posted by Deaks on Sun Oct 23 10:08:43 2005 I've visited the Eastern European cities of Budapest and Bratislava over the past two weeks and both have interesting transit systems. First off, the Budapest cog railway. This poorly-used yet interesting operation runs every 20 minutes on Mondays to Fridays, but either every 15 or 12 (during the summer) minutes on weekends, from the terminus at Városmajor to the upper terminal at Széchenyi-Hegy. It's single-track with two or three stations having passing loops, and two platforms. Two-car sets of very squat vehicles are used.Car #56 arriving at Városmajor....  Car #66 approaching Svábhegy....  Car #53 at the upper terminal, Széchenyi-Hegy....
