The public transport sector is undergoing one of its most significant transformations in decades, set to culminate on December 31, 2024, when VolĂĄnbusz Zrt. fully merges into MÁV SzemĂ©lyszĂĄllĂ­tĂĄsi Zrt., which is formed from MÁV-Start. This legal integration will bring considerable changes not only in the corporate structure but also in communication channels. The currently formally independent VolĂĄnbusz website will be phased out, as from January 1, 2025, all current information will be available on a single central platform, with the bus company’s website being updated only for a limited time thereafter.

Following VolĂĄnbusz’s merger on December 31, the communication will be taken over by the newly registered MÁV SzemĂ©lyszĂĄllĂ­tĂĄsi Zrt., which will officially be established on January 1, along with MÁV Zrt., the group’s parent company. Consequently, VolĂĄnbusz’s main communication channel, volanbusz.hu, will eventually be “shut down.” Furthermore, according to our information, VolĂĄnbusz’s Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn channels will also be discontinued.

From January 1, VolĂĄnbusz passengers will find current travel information, including both bus and rail services, on the MÁV group’s central website, www.mavcsoport.hu. While the official VolĂĄnbusz website will no longer be updated in the future, it will remain accessible in an archived form for a limited time to assist passengers, although it will not serve any significant functional purpose.
