We came to ask what people think about innovation.
Electric car. That's innovation.
Price increse?
For me it's renewal and continuous development.
And what does innovation mean to you?
Hi! I'm Marci Tompos, and this is XYZ, Momentum's vlog.
Innovation may sound as a fancy and cool stuff,
which is communicated by the supervisor to the controller as an assertive feedback after a meeting...
What?
But it's a whole lot easier.
Innovation was when we first learned to use fire for cooking or protection,
when we first used pants for riding,
or when the Magical Magyars, using their own, modified 4-2-4 lineup, kicked ass all around the world.
The essence of innovation is therefore to make a product, a service, a sport or anything else
faster, more efficient or comfortable, etc.
So let's take a look at the use of innovation in practice.
Henrik lives in the Netherlands, in the small town of Boxmeer, near the German border.
In the morning he leaves his places and rides his bike to the city's picturesque train station.
Here, after locking the vehicle and checking in with his card, valid for all public transport in the country,
he sits down on the upper deck, plugs his phone and begins a frantic CandyCrush session.
Henrik, following one transfer, an 81-minute journey and some sugar related brain damage,
arrives to Utrecht Central, approximately 110 kilometers away.
He visits the indoor bike storage, takes out the steed and on separated bicycle paths
approaches his workplace.
All this took him about one and a half hour, and after he was unable to get over level 28,
he still had some time to read the news and write a few messages.
Henrietta resides in Borsod county, in the township of Cigánd.
In the morning she goes to the bus stop, hops on ÉMKK's evergreen vehicle,
then, after purchasing her ticket on the bus, travels about 30 km in 47 minutes,
and in Sárospatak a train of the Hungarian State Railways is already waiting for her.
After carrying out a magnificent ticket purchase, she gets on, but does not deal with such nonsense
as phone charging, since it is slightly more important to her that at the train station of Szerencs
she catches the next train to Miskolc, within the 2-minute connection time.
From there only a short distance separates Henrietta from her workplace,
which she does using MVK's bus.
After about two and a half hours of travel and the use of three companies' four lines,
Henrietta also successfully completed the 110-km journey.
You say it is a completely random example, and we are well on innovation?
There are partial results...
A mobile laboratory was developed by
a consortium set partially by the Defence Ministry's company.
This company, more specifically, its product increased the number of users to 30 million over four years from scratch.
But their are some issues with the attitude.
New ideas are good, so innovation is a great thing, the startups are also excellent,
so it is a good thing to deal with something that no one has seen before...
... but you cannot build the future on that, a future can be built on what we know we are good at.
Aha, you say to the Estonians and the Irish. They somehow managed to do so.
By the way, I brought traffic as an example for a reason. It is a sector affecting all the others.
It plays a role in how much time it takes for you to get to your workplace,
how much money it costs to send a product from one place to another,
how much area can a service cover,
and how well can a tourist reach a given sight.
And as it affects so many areas, it is very important
that we develop it and incorporate the latest innovations.
How are we doing with all this? Well, just like with innovation in general.
There are steps forward.
The highway will be 6 lanes wide up to Balatonvilágos, but M1 will be expanded, too.
One will be able to travel from Budapest to Győr on a wider highway.
90 people arrived today with the first plane to the re-opened Sármellék airport. They came from Hamburg, via Berlin.
And there's the usual stuff.
The Felcsút gauge train began its operation, although only in testing mode, on the 5,7 km line,
Between Felcsút [Orbán's home village] and Alcsútdoboz.
Designers were calculating with between 2500 and 7000 passengers a day, which is given
that per day around 380 people use the bus between the two villages, is a fairly optimistic estimate.
The bike path on the Zagyva embankment was opened two years ago. The seven and a half kilometers cost more than 1 billion forints.
Earlier, the 53-mile journey was made by train in 90 minutes.
After the 44 billion reconstruction the travel time decreased by 5 minutes.
So the problem by itself is not that there are no improvements at all or there's no innovation,
but that almost everything is decided in accordance with momentary interests,
and realized through overpriced tenders and in low quality.
We in Momentum however, have a quite different image of a well-functioning transport system.
First, we propose that an independent institution should coordinate and organize nationwide transport.
It would be responsible for finding the best operators for each line,
for coordinating the schedules of various public and private service providers,
enforcing transparency, and creating fast and efficient transport.
Also, free access schedules, and real-time data will allow
the intrdocution of a united, country-wide trip planner and chip-card system.
And if we are at national transport, there's a pretty harsh contradiction:
the costs of using a car in the country are too high, while in our cities too low
compared to the size of congestions and pollution.
This can be resolved by a dynamic pricing based on time and traffic,
something similar to the hotel room system.
Off peak it's cheap, but as more and more people want to use it, the more it's price increases.
The same system should be used at public transportation,
at road usage and environmental pollution charges, too.
For developming urban transport, we'll have P + R car parks, decent bypass roads,
also we will introduce a community-based pothole-recording system.
In addition, we'll create the conditions for bike commuting, with normal bike paths,
and bicycle-friendly streets.
So, this is our vision for transportation. You can find it's broader description on our blog,
but we are also curious to know how you see it.

See you next week. Bye!
