Deák Ferenc tér is currently the only transfer station for the M1, M2, and M3 lines of the Budapest Metro. it is located under the eponymous city square.
Owing to its direct transfer connections to all three metro lines and its downtown location, it is one of the busiest stations in Budapest.
The station was the northern terminus for the first segment of the M3 line completed in 1976 (to Nagyvárad tér), and has switches and a pullback track in a middle tunnel at its northern end. This track does not terminate; it descends underground and curves more than 180° west to join the pullback track of Deák Ferenc tér on the M2 line. This non-revenue connection tunnel was the means of suppling rolling stock to line M3 from 1976 until it was completed to Kőbánya-Kispest and the adjacent new depot in 1980.
