The first underground railway in continental Europe was completed by Siemens in Budapest in 1896,
after only two years of construction. The 3.75 km route led from the city center on the banks of the Danube to a wood just outside the city,
a favorite place for outings. In its first year, the subway transported over four million passengers, more than any previous railway.
