Public Transport
Budapest's transport infrastructure is among the best in Europe. As well as an extensive network of bus, trolleybus and tram routes, the city also has a fast, modern metro system with three lines.
Bus and Tram - the network of tram (villamos) and bus routes throughout the city provide a fast, frequent way to get around.
Budapest's thirty or so tram lines support over 200 bus routes, with both offering comprehensive all-night services that operate on the major thoroughfares in the city (night bus timetables are posted at stops and in most metro stations). Tickets for tram and bus journeys can be bought at metro stations.
Metro - the subway system is generally clean and efficient, with trains running at regular intervals of between 3 and 4 minutes (from just before 5am-11.30pm). Some overcrowding occurs at peak times, although it's limited only to the most central stations. Metro stations are easily located on maps and streets by the 'M' symbol:
The oldest part of the network is the yellow line 1 (signed Földalatti) which was built in the 1890s to celebrate the Magyar millennium. The line runs between downtown Vörösmarty tér and Mexikói út. Stations are easily accessible, being just below ground level.
Lines 2 and 3 were built during the 70s and run wide-gauge Russian trains. Line 2 (red) runs from the eastern outskirts of the city (Őrs vezér tér), past Keleti (Eastern) railway station and on to the Belváros before crossing under the Danube to Pest's Déli pu (Southern) station. Line 3 (blue) runs from the northern suburbs to the busy Deák tér interchange, before heading south towards the airport and Kobánya Kispest.
HÉV (suburban railway) - to the south, local suburban trains (HÉV) run between Csepel Island and Dandár u, while the route most commonly used by tourists runs between Batthyhány tér and Szentendre.
