After a complex evaluation, the projects have been ranked, preliminary selected, and further packed into different levels through the assessment, considering the integration of transport modes, the different phases, and budgets. Although BMT has explained indepth all these processes, in the end, a set of indicators for all measure packages suggested by the SUMP guidelines have not been presented. Under those circumstances, the monitoring and evaluation of these group projects could be compromised since it is difficult to monitor their implementation development without indicators and targets.

Step 8 agree actions and responsibilities: BMT has presented an action plan through chapter 4 of Volume II, where it has been aligned with the timeline and phases of the investment program. In addition, it has presented the cost and financing plan and risk management plan, although in a broad perspective. BMT has previously explored the investment cost of each project all actions into individual factsheets. Nevertheless, on the Hungarian version, there is a Volume III called (in English, Project data sheets) that presents all projects with many more details, such as the organization responsible for implementation, the time required, investment costs, and even indicators and targets, among others (BKK Budapesti Közlekedési Központ, 2019c).

Furthermore, to guarantee broad political and public support, the SUMP guidelines have highlighted the importance of involving and receiving feedback from citizens and stakeholders. Although it has been mentioned in many parts of BMT that stakeholders have actively been part of the process, the citizens participation has not been addressed at this stage, or at least it has not been clearly mentioned, which could compromise the adoption and effective implementation of the proposed actions.

Step 9 prepare for adoption and financing: as discussed in the previous steps, BMT has created a detailed investment program that includes many important topics to allow a great selection of measures. Although the plan has presented many calculations regarding the costs and risks of the measures which ensure their financial viability to a certain extent the financing plan has not been yet detailed. Hence, there is a lack of information
