Attention! Budapest metro operation changes: here’s what to know about the new timetables

From 1 June, Budapest’s M2, M3, and M4 metro lines will run later into the night on both weekdays and weekends, reflecting the growing demand for late-night public transport in the capital. The change affects not only the metro but also dozens of connecting bus and suburban rail services.

The new schedule, implemented by the Budapest Transport Centre (BKK), means that passengers can catch the last metro trains from downtown much later than before. On weekdays—Sunday night through Thursday night—the last trains leave Deák Ferenc Square at the following times:

• M2 line: 00:00 in both directions
• M3 line: 00:03 toward Újpest-központ, 23:56 toward Kőbánya-Kispest
• M4 line: 00:04 from Kálvin Square toward Kelenföld

On Friday and Saturday nights, the schedule is extended even further:

• M2 line: 01:00 in both directions
• M3 line: 01:03 toward Újpest-központ, 00:56 toward Kőbánya-Kispest
• M4 line: 01:04 from Kálvin Square toward Kelenföld

All late-night subway trains will run at 10-minute intervals, making Budapest’s underground system more accessible during nighttime hours, Blikk writes.
