The entrance to Deák Ferenc tér station is from the tunnel level
Ferencic Square
At the station which connects to the Rákóczi út bus lines, the columns at platform level can be seen in their original coverage, matching the brown color scheme, just as at the station in the Corvin district. Unlike many other subway stations, the ceiling in the center of this station does not have a grid or similar covering, which creates a wide effect. The tunnel here has received a reflective coating that creates a stunning circular light show as trains enter and leave. In order to make it easier to access, an elevator had to be installed, but due to space constraints, the tilting elevator was placed between escalators, as in other downtown stations. The entrance to the station and the perimeter of the stairwells are painted orange.

The most important station of the metro line was also delivered at this rate. The significance of Deák tér is that most of the metro lines on the Budapest network meet here: in addition to the M2, the Millennium Underground, i.e. the M1, also stops here. Perhaps because of the clear distinction between the subway lines, the escalator that connects the underground level to the metro is blue, as well as the tunnel that connects the second and third lines. The former is in a darker shade, and the latter is in a lighter shade. From now on, the platform level columns are covered with white mosaics, the tunnel has also been preserved with blue ones, and the memorable lettering tiles, the work of Portuguese artist João Vieira. Among those in the city center, only this station was able to solve the problem of installing a traditional elevator, so there was no need to take up space for the tilting elevator at the expense of escalators.
