Metro

Budapest 's 3 metro lines cross at Deák Ferenc Tér in the town centre. Taking the metro is fast as they come every 3-6 minutes during working hours. They operate from 4:30 am to 11pm and outside of these times their routes are roughly matched by surface night buses (see below.) If you have a single ticket, be sure to punch it, up in front of the escalators before going down to the platform.There is a regular check up inside the metro. More so on sundays than any other day of the week, the fines are high for traveling without a ticket! It is easy to navigate the metro, as there are only three lines and the one you are on is illustrated on the wall of the platform with your present station highlighted.
