The Buda Castle Funicular. We haven't done this because it was about to close and we have seen the fun from here as well. We walked the way up. <br />
<br />
<u>Budavári Sikló</u><br />
The Budapest Castle Hill Funicular or Budavári Sikló is a funicular railway which links the Adam Clark Square and the Széchenyi Chain Bridge at river level to Buda Castle above. <br />
<br />
The line was opened on March 2, 1870, and has been in municipal ownership since 1920. It was destroyed in the Second World War and reopened on June 4, 1986. A feature of the line are the two pedestrian foot bridges which cross above it. These were present when the line opened, were removed in 1900 when the castle's garden was extended, and rebuilt to the original design in 1983.<br />
<br />
The line is operated by the BKV (Mass Transport Company of Budapest), and operates from 07.30 to 22.00 each day and is subject to special fare. <br />

<u>Tram Budapest</u><br />
The tram network of Budapest is part of the mass transit system of Budapest, the capital city of Hungary. Tram lines serve as the second-most important backbone of the transit system after the bus network, carrying almost 100 million more passengers annually than the Budapest Metro. <br />
In operation since 1866, the Budapest tram network is among the world's largest tram networks by route length—operating on 174 kilometres of total route—and is the busiest in the world. <br />
<br />
As of 2023, the tram network is made up of 35 regular lines (26 main lines and 9 supplemental lines) and the Budapest Cog-wheel Railway (signed as route 60). <br />
<br />
The system is operated by Budapesti Közlekedési Zrt. under the supervision of the municipal Budapesti Közlekedési Központ. Since 2016, the system uses the world's longest 9-sectioned articulated tram vehicle, the CAF Urbos 3/9, on route 1.<br />

<u>Budapest Métro M1</u> <br />
Line 1 (Officially: Millennium Underground Railway, Metro 1 or M1) is the oldest line of the Budapest Metro, built from 1894 to 1896. It is known locally as "the small underground" ("a kisföldalatti"), while the M2, M3 and M4 are called "metró". It was the first electrified underground on the European mainland, and the world's second oldest electrified underground after the London Underground. It was finished by April 1896 and was inaugurated by the emperor of Austria-Hungary, Franz Joseph, on 3 May 1896.<br />
<br />
Line 1 runs northeast from the city center on the Pest side under Andrássy út to the Városliget, or City Park. Like Line 3, it does not serve Buda. Its daily ridership is estimated at 80,000.<br />
<br />
The original purpose of the first metro line was to facilitate transport to the Városliget (City Park) along the elegant Andrássy Avenue without building surface transport affecting the streetscape. The National Assembly accepted the metro plan in 1870, and the local Hungarian subsidiary company of the Siemens & Halske AG was commissioned for the construction, starting in 1894. It took 2,000 workers using up-to-date machinery less than two years to complete. The underground part of this section was built entirely from the surface (with the cut-and-cover method).<br />
<br />
The line ran underneath Andrássy Avenue, from Gizella tér station (now Vörösmarty tér station) to Aréna út station (now Hősök tere station). From there it followed an indirect surface alignment through the Városliget to a surface terminus at Artézi fürdő station (now Széchenyi fürdő station). It had eleven stations, nine underground and two on the surface section through the park. The length of the line was 3.7 kilometres at that time; trains ran every two minutes. It was able to carry as many as 35,000 people a day (by contrast, today 103,000 people travel on it on a workday). <br />
<br />
Due to the line’s small loading gauge, the line has used very small vehicles since its inception with low-floor passenger sections and high-floor cabs. The line has always been powered by overhead lines, possibly rigid. The voltage has variously been described as either 550 or 600 volts, but the exact voltage is unclear.<br />
<br />
With the extension and reconstruction of the line in the 1970s, new Ganz MFAV cars were built in Budapest by Ganz Works to replace the original rolling stock. These cars are eight-axle articulated vehicles. Each unit has 3 sections, each having 2 doors per side, with no internal connection between. The driver’s cabs are located above the end bogies and can only be entered from a small door on each side. The loading gauge constraints of the line meant that all electrical subsystems are fitted above the articulations, between the separate passenger compartments.<br />
In total 23 cars were built, comprising two prototypes in 1971, 19 production cars in 1971 to 1973, and two further cars in 1987 although originally two more were to be purchased at this time. All are still in service.<br />
