Budapest’s night transport service is expanding. According to a recent statement by BKK, as of December 1st, metro lines 2 and 4 will run for an extra hour on Fridays and Saturdays, providing convenient options for late-night travelers. Currently the last trains leave from each terminal before midnight seven nights a week. With the launch of this new weekend timetable, the last underground cars will depart from Örs vezér tere and Déli pályaudvar stations of the M2 and the Keleti pályaudvar and Kelenföld vasútállomás stations of the M4 at 00:30am.
“Budapest has an increasingly bustling nightlife, and in recent years the number of tourists in the city has been on the rise, resulting in more passengers using late-night transport services,” says the company. “Night services are most popular on Fridays and Saturdays, when plenty of people travel after midnight in the city center. BKK is expanding its transport alternatives for these busy nights.”
During the nighttime operating hours, the underground on these two lines will run every ten minutes. This new schedule does not affect the operating hours of tram 6 that runs along the Grand Boulevard round-the-clock. Similarly, the schedule of the city’s night buses remains unchanged.
