To extend Metro Line 3, 24 properties must be acquired, and the cost of expropriation could exceed five billion forints.
The extension of Metro 3 could be in danger: Budapest will have to expropriate 24 properties - Among them are social rental housing, a family house and a business.
Due to the Russian trains, only reaching Rákospalota-Újpest seems feasible.
The two-stop extension of the M3 metro line would require rapid expropriations, which will probably not be easy, and due to the Russian metro cars, the line will certainly not reach Káposztásmegyer in the next two decades.
