M3 Line (North-South line)[edit]

First section in 1976, 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)[edit]

Line M4 was originally scheduled to be complete around 2005, but, as there were numerous political debates over it, not to mention a number of civilian protests against tunnelling at certain parts of the city, building only started in 2005 and the completion date was rescheduled to 2012 or 2013. The line opened to the public at noon on 28 March 2014.

There are plans to extend the line north towards Újpalota, and south towards Budaörs.
