Description: This definitive postage stamp from the Hungarian People's Republic features an engraved architectural depiction of the Központi Pályaudvar Budapest (Budapest Central Bus Station) operated by MÁVAUT. Printed in a rich monochromatic sepia-brown ink, the composition highlights the geometric modernism of the multi-story transit terminal, showcasing its massive multi-paned glass windows and flat overhanging roof line. A vintage mid-century passenger bus is shown parked near the main entrance terminal doors. The location identifier "KÖZPONTI PÁLYAUDVAR BUDAPEST" alongside the transport company acronym "MÁVAUT" lines the upper-left inside border, while the face value "40f" (40 fillér) is displayed in the upper-right corner. The formal state postal inscription "MAGYAR POSTA" stretches across the entire dark baseline frame.
Circa: 1951-1953
Condition: Used - Hinged
Notes:
The vertical inscription MÁVAUT on the left side stands for Magyar Államvasutak Autóközlekedési Vállalat (Motor Auto Transport Enterprise of the Hungarian State Railways). This state-owned bus entity was a massive focus of mid-century infrastructure investments, helping connect rural workers and industrial sites to the heart of Budapest.
