Hungary
The Hungarian railroad company is called IMagyar Allamvasutak or MAV. Budapest is the centre of the railway network, with three large stations. From Budapest a 7,607 km network, one-third of which is electrified, radiates through the country with some interconnections with centers of the larger towns.

Network
There are direct connections to Hungary from and to all immediate neighbors: Austria, Croatia, Romania, Slovakia. Also to further countries like: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Switzerland and even Turkey.
Railway service
In almost all cases the IC trains have a restaurant car. In all the other train lines there are smoking and non-smoking cars.
Developments
Further future changes for the creation of a modern network in the near future entail:
- The introduction of faster trains (100 mph) on the Budapest-Hegyeshalom track.
- The extension of modern InterCity services for passengers.
- The modernization of suburban trains operating on regional lines. This will be affected by the introduction of the InterPici services on many of the regional lines.
- For the modernization of the information and ticketing system there will be the gradual introduction of both a price system that can compete internationally and an up-to-date rate reduction for the domestic market.
