All Aboard the Falcon: Hungary-Serbia High-Speed Railway Turns Two! 🚄
Imagine zipping from Belgrade to Novi Sad in just 30 minutes! That's the magic the Hungary-Serbia high-speed railway has brought to locals and travelers alike. Celebrating its second anniversary on March 19, this sleek 75-kilometer stretch has already whisked 6.83 million passengers since launching in 2022. 🎉
The star of the show? The Coko, named after the Serbian word for falcon. Just like its namesake, this train soars swiftly between cities, making early morning commutes a breeze. 🌅
This isn't just about speed; it's about connection. Built by a partnership of Chinese companies led by the China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC), the railway is a shining example of cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative. It's not just steel and tracks—it's a bridge between cultures and economies, linking Serbia and Hungary in new and exciting ways. 🌍🤝
And the journey doesn't stop here! CREC estimates that the rest of the railway line will be up and running by the end of this year. Soon, even more destinations will be just a quick ride away. 🚆
Whether you're a student, a business traveler, or an adventurer seeking new horizons, the Hungary-Serbia high-speed railway is changing the way we move. So next time you're in the region, hop on the Coko and experience the falcon's flight for yourself! 🦅✨
