== Public Transport ==
== Outline of local mass transit ==
Public Transport is usually not needed in Tirana, especially during FAD where everything will be in 20min walking distance or less. Taxis are relatively cheap locally, starting from 2 EUR and not more than 5 EUR within the city for a single ride.
Budapest public transport is provided by BKV the company operates buses, trolleybuses, trams, suburban railway lines, the metro, a boat service, a cogwheel railway, a funicular, and a chairlift, called Libegő. Day services operate from 4:30 a.m. until 11:30 p.m. each day. Night traffic (a reduced overnight service) has a reputation for being excellent.
 


== Airports and their distance from lodging and venue ==
== Airports and their distance from lodging and venue ==
Tirana International Airport (also called Nënë Tereza International Airport) has just one passenger terminal. The airport is located outside Tirana, within a distance of 18km from the city center.

The airport is located to the east of the centre in the XVIII. district in Pestszentlőrinc.

Purpose & Impact

This FAD is an annual planning event for the EMEA community. The most active ambassadors from various countries get together to discuss what activities we should do in the next year, what events to attend, what swag to produce. The main outcome of this event is an EMEA budget proposal for the next fiscal year which includes a list of events we will spend money on, Fedora media production, and swag production. If this event didn't take place it would have a significant impact on our activity in the region in the next year. because doing such complex planning via emais and IRC would be very complicated, the budget proposal might not even be created.
