InterCity (Hungary)
The InterCity (short form: IC) in Hungary is an internationally used type of train .
The Hungarian state railway company MÁV operates InterCity trains on various lines to and from or via Budapest, including international traffic. Additional connections on branch lines were operated with modernized Bzmot rail buses under the name InterPici until 2010 .
Some of the IC trains have a dining or buffet car and some require reservations.

Car use
Locomotive-hauled trains are mainly used, some with GySEV / Raaberbahn wagons . In some cases, multiple units of the BVmot series are also used.
For InterCity and EuroCity traffic, over 100 air-conditioned compartment and open-plan cars according to UIC-Z dimensions were procured from the manufacturers CAF , GOŠA and DWA in the 1990s . The compartments are each designed with six seats, the open-plan cars have seats in a face-to-face arrangement.
Also are in intercity traffic also unklimatisierte oversized and compartment cars by UIC Y dimensions in use, which in the 1970s in various states of the CMEA were built. The 2nd class compartment cars are equipped with benches for eight people per compartment. Ten UIC-Y compartment cars were converted into air-conditioned open-plan cars (IC3 cars) at the end of the 2000s.
The UIC-Y cars that are used in Hungarian InterCity traffic are generally approved for 140 km / h. The cars acquired after 1990, however, are approved for speeds of up to 160 km / h or 200 km / h.
Since 2018, new, comfortable cars manufactured in Hungary with the name IC + have been increasingly used. The types built for international traffic are approved for 200 km / h, those for use in domestic traffic for 160 km / h. In addition, some CAF cars have been modernized.
