3 Integrated Transport OP , Hungary - main objective This programme includes the main transport infrastructure investments. It focuses on further developing highways and railways across the country, improving public transport services not only in and around the capital, but also in the main cities, and on improving regional accessibility. As a result, highways will reach the borders, and more "cities with county rights" will have direct link to the trans- European transport network. Railway modernisation will continue along the main corridors across the country, with several stations to be renovated (Békéscsaba, Székesfehérvár, Szombathely). Urban transport will be further developed both in and around Budapest. Other large cities will also benefit from urban transport investments, and light train developments will link cities in the country together.
