Trams No. 4 and 6, the busiest line in Europe: run along Grand Boulevard: this line is undergoing a major reconstruction in 2006: first the Blaha Lujza tér - Moszkva tér section will be rebuilt between 18th April-19th May 2006, then the Blaha Lujza tér Móricz Zsigmond körtér (tram6)/Lágymányosi lakótelep (tram 4) section between 22nd May-9th June. During the reconstruction buses with 4-6V signs carry passengers along Grand Boulevard. Try to avoid this line during rush hours until the reconstruction is over or take the metro.
