Development momentum is currently in a maintenance state, with only two releases identified across the last 13 months. The latest release, which occurred 137 days ago, focused on a platform migration to MAUI and a design refresh.

Key takeaways for Public transport map Budapest
Where is it heading?

The SWOT
- Offline map access removes the connectivity dependency rivals require
- Expand geographic coverage to include suburban transit lines to address top user request
