The M1 is Budapest's Millennium Underground Railway, opened in 1896 to mark Hungary's millennium celebrations and now part of the city's BKV and BKK transport network. Running beneath Andrássy Avenue, the short yellow line is often called the földalatti by locals. Short recordings of its onboard chime have circulated on soundboards among transit fans and travellers who recognise the distinctive trill from a single ride. It remains popular because few other metro systems have such a brief, melodic signal so closely tied to one historic line.
