Our fourth Pontoon Bridge event will deal with trolleybus transport, which started twice, first in Óbuda in 1933, then in Pest, in 1949. Our guest expert will be László Jakab electric engineer, author of the successful book "Szerbusz trolibusz" (Hello Trolleybus). He will share secrets about the pantograph-run buses which will certainly surprise the audience!

About the event series
The Pontoon Bridge evenings is a series of conversations, organised by the Transport Museum, which has been running since March this year on Kossuth Museum Ship. During the sessions we touch about topics such as the building of the Budapest underground in the Rákosi-era, the colourful history of tram transport in Zugliget, socialist realist railway stations, or the history of "Utasellátó" (Passenger Supply). The events are free of charge, however, registration is needed. The host and moderator of the monthly events is Tibor Legát journalist, the author of the popular book series Közlekedik...
Kossuth steamboat is the oldest boat on the Budapest section of Danube, which can even be seen today. The ship commuted between 1913 and 1976, and is under heritage protection since 1984. Today there is a restaurant operating in its rooms, and the exhibition of the Transport Museum can also be visited.
