The Public Balance of Transport in Hungary 2004-2013
Scientifically based correct information about the social balance of transport is indispensable for the national and local governments in order to make the right decisions concerning transport investments and pricing of transport. In the case of public balance of transport the authors could develop a widely accepted methodology. They include only pure transport items on both sides of the balance – on the one hand transport taxes, fees and other revenues, and on the other hand transport expenditures (e.g. road and rail construction, maintenance, operation, public transport subsidies, PPP fees). The public balance of transport and all of its items are divided by transport subsectors (road, rail, inland waterways, air), where road and rail figures are good enough to draw conclusions, while the role of inland waterways and air transport in public balance are marginal. Between 2004 and 2013 road transport revenues were significantly higher than expenditures (except 2006), in spite of intensive motorway construction activity between 2004 and 2008. On the other hand, public balances of rail transport have always been significantly and considerably negative. However the performance figures of rail transport have not justified the huge amount of rail subsidies.
