I find it hard to find any information about the plans for line 4 and 5 on the internet (except for the metro4.hu site that barely has any new info). Now I found in the Budapest Times some articles concerning metro 4 and 5, and I'd like to post that here before I loose those links again... Besides the fact that the links are useful to me they can also be useful for future editors of this article...
- Metro line five could link suburbs to heart of Budapest
- Transportation tenders tend not to go smoothly
- EU Commissioner praises Hungary’s use of funding
- More scandals of the same vein and protests much the same
- More funds on the way for road works

I am Christo from hungarian wikipedia. I uploaded a few pictures. I am the editor of metros.hu page. I have a lot of information about Budapest metro. Urban and Suburban Transit Association (Városi és Elővárosi Közlekedési Egyesület) created a plan about unite of the metro line 2 and hév gödöllő. But the city government not totally agreed with this plan. But maybe after 2015 this will be bulided. Sorry for my english:S
Here is a few old map
Some stations have old names: in the Millennium Underground there are a lot of old names, but i remember only that Oktogon was November 7 tér (tér=square, út=road, utca=street, híd=bridge).
- Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út was Váczy körút
- Kodály körönd was Körönd
- Vörösmarty tér was Gizella tér
- Hősők tere (Heroes's square) was Aréna út
And there was a phase in overground, that contains two stations Állatkert (Zoo) and Artézi fürdő (Artesian bath), this is the old name of Széchenyi fürdő.
Line 2:
- Stadionok (Stadums) was Népstadion (Folkstadion)
- Örs Vezér tere (Square of Leader Örs) was Fehér út (White road)
Line 3:
- Népliget (Folkgrove) was Könyves Kálmán körút (körút=boulevard)
- Ferenciek tere was Felszabadulás tér (Liberation square)
- Nyugati pályaudvar (Western Railway station) was (Marx square)
- Lehel tér was Élmunkás tér (Gaffer square)
and the phase of Újpest have not builded long time ,in the plans there was another names of the stations:
- Újpest-Központ (Newpest-Centre) was Bajcsy-Zsilinszky út
- Újpest-Városkapu (Newpest-Towngate) was Újpest Vasúti megállóhely (Newpest Railway station)
- Gyöngyösi utca was Meder utca
if you walk near Gyöngyösi utca station, you can see an old station-table in that peron, where the trains go to Kőbánya-Kispest (Stonemine-Smallpest).
In Stadionok station (line2) are 4 tracks, because on the old plans the line 2 terminal was the Stadionok station (in that times: Népstadion). The two tracks in the side had used by the Gödöllői HÉV (Suburban line). In the next plan, the other 2 tracks extended to North-Kőbánya, and this pjase had had three stations (Kőbánya-Felső, Kőbánya-Alsó, Zalka Máté tér).
The line 3 extension to north will have maybe 4 stations (Rózsa utca - underground, Rákospalota-Újpest vasúti megállóhely (not decided), Óceánárok utca - overground, Megyeri út - overground) and with this, in Káposztásmegyer will build an another depo for metro line 3. About the airport extension the city leaders decided: this will not unfortunately.
Metro line 5. Thid named Észak-Déli regionális gyorsvasút (North-South regional rapid railway). Between Kaszásdűlő and Lágymányosi híd will underground. And in the future, the Esztergom railway line will connect to this line.

[edit] 2nd oldest subway?
Both this page and the page on the Istanbul "Tünel" make the claim that they are the second oldest subway system in the world (after the London Underground). Can anyone verify which one is correct and make the necessary edit? -- Hux 17:31, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- Technically the Istanbul Tünel is older (1875 vs. 1896), but the Istanbul Tünel isn't a subway in a classical sense. It is a short track with only two station, and only meant to connect two neighborhoods with each other. Maartenvdbent 17:40, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Major revision -- move future stuff
I think that most readers of this page will want information about the current information about the Budapest metro. In particular, I think that having the only map showing lines that don't exist is a disservice.
This is not to say I don't like the description of plans for the future, just that I think that, like "history" "future" should be a separate section.
I propose to do a rather serious revision of the page along the lines of adding material found at http://drott.cis.drexel.edu/hungary/budametro.html (my website) but in conformance with the Wikipedia guidelines.
Let me know if you have feelings about this
By the way, I remember that about three years ago one of the political candidates had posters showing her plans to expand the subway system. Some humorist had defaced them with a line running west from Deli and a box labled "Kanada!" I think some of the proposals that have been seriously made are about that likely.
[edit] what links here
there is no linke from Budapest, that seems odd, no? also, there is no real link from BKV, just the weird link under "usage." if someone could please rework those articles to included a nice clear link, that would be great. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.201.18.104 (talk) 13:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC).
