Mexikói út (lit. Mexican street) is the northern terminus of the yellow M1 (Millennium Underground) line of the Budapest Metro. Located in the Zugló district of Pest, the station was opened on 30 December 1973 when the line was extended from the original terminus at Városliget (City Park).Like all Millenium Underground line stations, Mexikói út has two side platforms, one serving each direction of travel. To the north of the station are a pair of sidings and the access to the line's depot, and arriving trains stop to set down passenger at the northbound platform, pull forward into one of the sidings to reverse, and then pick up passengers at the southbound platform. The line's depot lies at ground level to the east of the station, and is accessed by a ramped track from the underground station. The depot also has a track access to the city's tram network.

The Magyar Műszaki és Közlekedési Múzeum (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈmɒɟɒr ˈmyːsɒki ˈeːʃ ˈkøzlɛkɛdeːʃi ˈmuːzɛum]; "Hungarian Technical and Transportation Museum"), still often referred to by its former name, Közlekedési Múzeum ("Transportation Museum"), is a museum in Budapest, Hungary. It is one of Europe's oldest transportation collections. The museum has a unique collection of locomotives and railway cars on a 1:5 scale. This means that a locomotive of, for example, 10 m length is reproduced with all details in a 2 m length model. The models represent a wide range of railway technology. The museum shows also a locomotive and wagon in real size with a railway station of the 1900s. Other parts of the museum are shown: The history of road traffic: horse-drawn and machine-driven vehicles, road and bridge building with a collection of old cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. The history of sailing. Sailing from the prehistoric ages, the history of Hungarian boat manufacturing is shown by models. Deeper in the park there is a permanent exhibition about the history of flight and space flight, including original Hungarian and foreign aircraft, including a Junkers F-13, the first all-metal transport aircraft. It also has the cabin of the first Hungarian astronaut, Bertalan Farkas. The exhibition also demonstrates the development of engines and instruments and modern rocket engineering techniques. The history of city transportation shows the public traffic in Buda and Pest before the appearance of trams and omnibuses. The museum also owns the collection of planes in Aeropark, an aviation museum dedicated to the history of Hungarian civil aviation, next to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport.
