Public Transit to Run for Longer In & Around Budapest from 1 June
Suburban trains and Volánbusz services serving Budapest and surrounding areas will run later from June 1, as they adjust to the extended timetables of metro lines, Transport Minister János Lázár announced this week.

Alexandra Szentkirályi, leader of the Fidesz group on city council, said that she had asked MÁV-Volán and Lázár to extend the services of Volánbusz and suburban trains until 1 am.

Dávid Vitézy, chairman of the city council’s transport committee, announced in the middle of May that metro trains will run later into the night from June 1.

Vitézy said the last M2, M3 and M4 metro carriages will leave the downtown area at around midnight, half an hour later than hitherto.

The metro will run for an additional 90 minutes on Friday and Saturday nights, with a frequency of every ten minutes until around 1 am.

Another new feature is that related mass transit services will adjust to the new schedule, and will also run half an hour later every day of the week, Vitézy added.

New Metro Hours on Sunday to Thursday:

  • M2: Last trains leave Deák Ferenc tér in both directions at midnight.
  • M3: Last train towards Újpest-központ departs at 00:03, and towards Kőbánya-Kispest at 23:56 pm.
  • M4: Final train leaves Kálvin tér heading to Kelenföld at 00:04 pm.

New Metro Hours on Friday & Saturday:

  • M2: Last trains from Deák Ferenc tér in both directions at 1:00 am.
  • M3: Final departure to Újpest-központ at 1:03 am, and to Kőbánya-Kispest at 00:56 am.
  • M4: Last train leaves Kálvin tér for Kelenföld at 1:04 am.
