Talk:Budapest Metro

message: 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

thread_title:  Nice article 

message: 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)
thread_title:  what links here 

message: Perhaps the "Usage" section could be made clearer.
I was told a ticket entitles the user to use one line only. If you need to change to another line, you have to buy a separate ticket for that line, too. If this is true, this surely is something sufficiently unusual to Budapest that will trip the average European/American visitor up.
From the January of 2009 a single ticket will be valid for one hour, and you will able to change without buying two tickets.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.98.245.116 (talk) 18:06, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Better "usage" section? 

message: Budapest claims to be the second oldest underground/subway in the world and this according to other Wikipedia pages is entirely correct. Older Metro/'L' systems do exist in both New York and Chicago, but with no underground sections at all until the 20th century (as late as 1943 for Chicago), they can not surely be grounds to demote Budapest to fourth oldest underground. There is no rationale for such logic, but this page did hold that view for a few days. If that editor's logic were extended any older railway system could create a new 21st century metro style section, with an underground element, and become the 'oldest in the world', surely a nonsense.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.8.231.166 (talk) 19:19, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is incorrect. and so are many wiki articles. The oldest underground/partially underground rapid-transit system in the world was the Metropolitan Railway now a part of London Underground (1863), the next was the Mersey Railway now a part of Merseyrail in Liverpool (1886). Budadpest is third. 188.222.102.255 (talk) 06:15, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The Mersey Railway, was the world's first deep level underground railway. Two stations were very deep needing elevators to access them, as stairs would be too long to walk. Much of the tunnelling is bored, not 100% cut and cover as was the Metropolitan Railway in London. 94.192.60.122 (talk) 07:49, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The Mersey Railway was steam hauled until 1903 until electric traction was introduced. It was the second oldest metro in the world, but the Liverpool Overhead Railway was the second partially underground electric metro (1896, when underground) after London and before Budapest. 94.192.60.122 (talk) 08:28, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

text: Good point. I would say no as the stations are not underground. 94.192.60.122 (talk) 07:35, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  The relevance of New York and Chicago 

message: The Liverpool Overhead Railway, a metro, was 100% electric and elevated when opening in 1893. An underground extension was added and opened in 1896. A surface section was also added. Both dates pre-date the Budapest metro. Budapest's first line was partially underground as was the Liverpool Overhead Railway before it. The article is incorrect. The Liverpool Overhead was also the first to use Electric multiple unit trains and signal lights. 94.192.60.122 (talk) 08:10, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I added the Liverpool Overhead Railway to the article to correct historical inaccuracies. 94.192.60.122 (talk) 08:21, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The Liverpool system was almost completely overground, having a short tunnel section added doesn't really make it an underground Metro system. I have re-edited the article to make things clearer. Fork me (talk) 03:53, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The Liverpool Overhead Railways was still a metro. It was elevated, overground and underground. Metros are not necessarily underground in full or part.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wisdom-inc (talk • contribs) 17:24, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Liverpool Overhead Railway is older 

message: I've added a 'Citation Needed' to the section about the extension to Ferihegy being "unlikely, given the existing rail link from Nyugati".
The railway station for the airport is located next to terminal 1, which has now shut down. All flights now leave from terminal 2, which is several kilometres from terminal 1 and the railway station.
If anyone has any reliable information in Hungarian that can be translated into English, please add a reference to this sentence. Unfortunately, the college I work for blocks access to translating tools because it classifies them as anonymising tools, so I can't verify these details myself.
Köszönöm

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: I think there is some potential for cleaning up this article and adding references. The Hungarian version of this article is three times the size and is well-referenced. The German and Hebrew versions of this article are Good Articles that we can use as backbones to rewrite this article. However, I don't believe that the content should be reduced like that because it leaves a large gap in the narrative of the article. epicgenius - (talk) 21:02, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

message: "The Glasgow Subway [...] is the third-oldest underground metro system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro."
"The Budapest Metro [...] is [...] the third-oldest electrically operated underground railway in the world."
People usually vie for first place, subways apparently vie for third.
There might be ways to make it logically consistent, but it's horrible writing at best. 91.10.3.7 (talk) 02:57, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
