The Budapest Metro is the rapid transit system in the Hungarian capital Budapest. It is the oldest electrified underground railway system on the European continent, and the third-oldest electrically operated underground railway in the world, predated by the 1890 City & South London Railway and the Liverpool Overhead Railway in 1893-96. Its iconic Line 1 was completed in 1896.
The first metro line was conceived as a means of carrying passengers from the city centre to the City Park without the need for surface transport on Andrássy Avenue. The Diet of Hungary approved the metro project in 1870. Construction began in 1894 and was carried out by the German firm Siemens & Halske AG.
