You can learn about the history of transport and the importance of traffic safety, which has connected the residents of Debrecen for 140 years.
The public transport in Debrecen started with coaching traffic on the 2nd of October 1884 at twelve hours and forty-five minutes, heavy traffic eleven days later, on the 13th of October 1884. With this, Debrecen was far ahead of the big cities of the Monarchy because steam traction public transport was established here, while in the territory of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, Vienna and Budapest only had horse trams. On the 1st of January 1887, construction contractors and city leaders established the DHV, the Debrecen Local Railway Joint Stock Company.
