"The Budapest subway system, the world's second oldest, is a dark, labyrinthine netherworld as vast and various as the city above it. Of the hordes of people who can be found there, most are passing through on their ways to better, brighter places, where sunlight shines and fresh breezes blow. But, there are those who spend most of their lives underground--the beleaguered ticket inspectors or 'controllers', who are assigned in teams to various sections of the system, and whose thankless job it is to ensure that no passengers ride without paying." -- container.
