Állatkert station, the old and the new M1 route map
When the M1 line was built, Állatkert and Széchényi fürdo were both aboveground stations. In 1973, in connection with the extension to Mexikói út, the line was converted to full underground service. Állatkert was shuttered while Széchényi fürdo was enclosed. [1][2]
