Public Transportation
 The public transportation is excellent in Budapest. There is a three line system, with all lines meeting in the city centre at Deák Ferenc Tér. Budapest has an open fare system. You have to validate your ticket at the entrance of the metro or on buses and trams, but there are no barriers. Controls are very rough on some days! Some stations have ticket vending machines showing on-screen instructions in 4 languages (Hungarian, German, English and Italian). The Yellow line (M1) is different from the other two in dimensions, directly under the street, and only 6 m wide and 2,75 m high. Therefore special trains had to be built and a fixed catenary had be installed. For the 100-Years-Anniversary all stations were restored and once again exhibit their historic splendor.
