People have many names for MAV, the state train service. They often mock, joke and insult them; but one thing everyone concedes: MAV is a relatively cheap safe and quick way to get from point A to point B in Hungary. That's why it came as a huge surprise that an intercity train collided with an express train yesterday near Monoierdo. There were four deaths-- due to the accident the minister of transportation resigned. Mav is now offering compensation for all those affected, they just have to turn in their VALID TICKETS?!?!?! Okay this makes some sense, we wouldn't want people showing up with injuries claiming they were on the train, but I mean finding my ticket would be the least of my priorities after experiencing a crash like that. Not to mention the fact that I usually throw my ticket into one of the trash cans immediately after it is checked; I guess I would be f---ed . I wish the best for the families of those who died in this crash; and for the 30+ who were seriously injured.
