Szolnok tömegközlekedése, Public transportation system in Szolnok, Hungary
The bus network in Szolnok comprises around 49 routes that cover the entire city, linking residential neighborhoods with commercial and administrative hubs. The lines run through different districts and allow passengers to move efficiently between key destinations.
Szolnok's first bus line began in 1921, after plans for a horse tram and later a tram or trolleybus before World War I were abandoned. The 2023 network redesign replaced the old radial system with circular routes and direct district links, and from 1 April 2024 the 2Y again serves the railway station while the 20A was discontinued.
The network's main interchange points are Szolnok railway station, Szapáry út, the market hall (Vásárcsarnok) and the bus station. Since 1 November 2023, circular routes and direct district links have replaced the old system that funneled passengers into the centre and required transfers.

Since 1 November 2023 circular routes and direct district links have replaced the old lines that fed into the centre and required transfers; from 1 April 2024 route 2Y again touches the railway station and route 20A was withdrawn. The whole fleet is low-floor with low entry, so boarding is step-free.
The ten electric buses that joined the fleet in 2023 replaced exactly ten outdated diesel solo buses under the Zöld Busz Program, cutting the fleet's average age below 11 years. A GPS tracking system that once covered the whole city was switched off in 2023, and talks on restoring it continue.
