The Szeged-Hódmezővásárhely Tram-train is a tram-train system in Hungary between the cities of Csongrád-Csanád County, Szeged (the county seat) and Hódmezővásárhely (a city with county rights). Construction began on 4 April 2018, and it was inaugurated on 29 November 2021.
The system is operated by Szegedi Közlekedési Társaság (SZKT) with MÁV-START Zrt. operating services in addition to the SZKT. Szeged's tram system is run on a 1,435 mm ( 4 ft 8 + 1 ⁄ 2 in ) standard gauge track and is powered by 600 V electfication system.

In 2005 new Tatra trams were bought to replace the old FVVs. Szeged has 38 bus lines, four tram and six trolley bus lines.
