Stations

M1 Line (Millennium Underground)

M2 Line (East-West line)

Built in 1970, extended in 1973. It is usually marked red. According to schedule, it runs along in 18 minutes.

M3 Line (North-South line)

First section in 1977, then expansions in 1980, 1981, 1984 and 1990. It is usually marked blue. According to schedule, it runs along in 31 minutes.

There is a planned extension towards Káposztásmegyer to the northeast and Budapest Ferihegy International Airport to the southeast.

M4 Line (Northeast-Southwest)

Line M4 had been originally scheduled to be built by around 2005, but, as there were numerous political debates over it, not to mention a number of civilian protests against the building of the tunnel for the line at certain parts of the city, building has only started in 2005 and the completion date had been re-scheduled to 2012 or 2013. The line has been opened to the public at noon 28 March 2014.

Note: Dózsa György út is also the name of an existing underground station of M3, so it will probably be renamed.

There are plans to extend the line towards Újpalota in the east, and towards Budaörs in the west.
