False alarm - Metro on line M2 was not operating on a section due to safety reasons

2025-01-21 10:46:00

On 21 January, we received a report around 7:30 denoting that smoke was detected at the Déli pályaudvar station of metro line M2. Since the safety of our passengers is our primary concern, we temporarily closed the stations between Deák Ferenc tér and Déli pályaudvar. The passengers left the station safely – in accordance with the regulations. Our employees inspected the scene with the experts of the National Directorate General for Disaster Management, but they found no trace of fire, so traffic was able to resume as soon as possible. Due to the suspected fire, replacement buses were running instead of the metro trains for almost an hour. We thank our passengers for their understanding and patience.
