Source-derived summary

The Transportation Safety Bureau of Hungary (TSB, Hungarian: Közlekedésbiztonsági Szervezet, KBSZ) is a government agency of Hungary, headquartered in Budapest.

The Minister for Economy and Transport created the agency on 1 February 2006. It investigates air, rail, and marine accidents. Prior to the creation of the TSB, the Civil Aviation Safety Bureau of Hungary (CASB, Hungarian acronym: POLÉBISZ) served as the country's aviation accident investigation agency for four years, when it investigated over five hundred aircraft accidents and incidents.

Offices

Its head office is currently at Laurus Offices (Laurus Irodaház) in Budapest. It was previously in Building 18/A of Terminal 1 of Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Transportation Safety Bureau” as hungarian government agency. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Transportation, Safety and Bureau.

Editorial reviewMost valuable as an event-and-institution map that identifies actors, dates and record creators for deeper historical inquiry. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2006—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2006. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Transportation, Safety and Bureau providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Transportation Safety Bureau”, the useful work is to connect “hungarian government agency” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 12, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7835181. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006.

Critical limits

Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Compare institutional narratives with records created by participants and affected communities. Dates and formal titles are useful anchors, but not substitutes for context.
