Revision 2026-08-26-claim-mapping · effective 2026-07-18

Current revision. This is the snapshot used by the live entity page.

unreviewed

Added a seven-claim evidence mapping and a sourced lesson; corrected the attribution of the adoption figures, which are Mastercard's and not the transport authority's, and recorded that the EU best-practice page naming the monthly user figures lists the transport authority itself as the submitting organisation. Evidence grade moved from independent to media.

Claims, one by one

The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

Claim 1 clm-a8e5793d50384f54 quantitative
BudapestGO, the renamed FUTAR app, averages roughly 1.4 million monthly users and 4 to 4.5 million trips planned per month
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The best-practice profile, submitted by the transport authority, gives both figures; the authority's own page describes the app's ticketing and journey planning.
Caveat
Both figures originate with the transport authority; the EU platform hosts the profile rather than assessing it.

EU tourism platform best-practice profile giving about 1.4 million monthly active users and 4 to 4.5 million routes planned per month. The page names the Centre for Budapest Transport as the publishing organisation, so the figures are the operator's own, hosted by an EU platform rather than assessed by it.

Known limits of this passport
  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
