Metro Lines in Budapest
Budapest has three underground metro lines intersecting at Deák tér. Trains runs at regular intervals of between 3-4 minutes (from 5:00 am to 11:30 pm). The metro stations are easily located on the streets by the 'M' symbol. If you buy the Budapest Card it provides unlimited 2 or 3 day travel on the entire public transport network.
Tickets are available at newsstands, some tobacco shops, ticket offices and vending machines. Do not forget to validate another ticket when changing the line.
