1. Introduction Many Eastern-European regions face well-known changes in travel patterns: • Increasing travel time. • Increasing car-ownership+car-use. • Increasing urban congestion. • Public transport – revenues, subsidies. • Decreasing level of service(the ratio of sitting and satisfied passengers). • Push and pull measures (parking) Csaba OROSZ, Impacts, Vienna

6. Alternative solutions in the case of Budapest [ I ] • The network remains basically free of charge • No money, present situation remains - business as usual • Complete –perfect– road pricingbased on external costs • All bridges are tolled + Cordon pricing at ring-road • At present politically impossible • Road pricing with compromises (rational alternative) • Basically tolled new network elements (M0 ring motorway, Danube bridges, specific links) • Transport financing can be solved = basis of sustainable transport development! • Scientifically managed congestion with some charged fast (bus?) lanes. • Better level of service – better modal split Csaba OROSZ, Impacts, Vienna
6. Alternative solutions in the case of Budapest [ II ] The present structure of the road network in the Central (Budapest) Region Possible well-financed future structure of the road network with tolled links and sections Csaba OROSZ, Impacts, Vienna

7. Conclusions • It is clear, that the appropriate use of physical planning,legal and economical instruments of Mobility Management • has to improve the competitiveness of Public Transport and • has to demonstrate the real time and money costs for the too frequent car users • Institutional issues are crucial. Co-operation is very limited (government, region, city, districts) • These are the major barriers against the establishment of common regional transport system and services.
