Note that these tickets are NOT the same as the regular bus & Metro tickets in use in the city. For latest details see here. | |
| Notes from a Traveller: This service is much better suited to airport passengers: it is larger, so bigger luggage can be transported; it operates more frequently; and it operates for longer hours provideing a link between the city and the airport even after midnight and at early dawn. | |
| Notes from a traveller October 2010: Tickets are now HUF 400 - the bus driver can sell you a ticket for the bus trip to Krispet AND a ticket for the Metro ride from Krispet into town (just hand him the money and say "metro please" - my driver spoke a little English) | |
| Notes from a traveller October 2010: The single ticket price for all modes of public transport is HUF 320 (in 2011 too). This IS valid (it is the same) on the 200E Airport Service too. On surface transport you cannot transfer with the single tickets but on the metro you can transfer only between the 3 metro lines, nothing else. You can buy tickets at all metro stations and at Ferihegy airport (both terminals from the Post office (Posta) and newspaper agents Relay and Lapker), and also from the ticket vending machine at terminal 2A arriving hall where you can pay by credit card too. You might buy tickets from the driver (out of opening hours ie 2200-0600) for a higher price (400 HUF). You can buy transfer tickets (átszállójegy) at some ticket offices, but not everywhere for HUF 490 (cheapest option to get to the center by metro and bus, unless you buy a multiple day tourist pass). | |

| By Train: | |
| General: | A train track runs right across the main road from Terminal 1, and a regular train service to the city centre has finally been established. To find the station exit the terminal, turn left and follow the path to the main road. There is a bridge to cross the road, and the station is just on the other side. To get to the station from terminal 2, use the 200 bus (see above). |

| Notes from a Traveller October 2010: | I didn't manage to find any of the automatic ticket machines in Budapest Train Station which were mentioned on the site. Queues were MASSIVE in the ticket hall so I just bought a ticket onboard (same price - 305 Florints o/w). |
| Notes from a Traveller December 2010: |
You can find real-time information of train timetables (from Nyugati
station (central) to Ferihegy (at terminal 1)) at
http://www.mav-start.hu/english/index.php
where if you register, you can buy train tickets as well. You won't need
to print the ticket. You can get train tickets automatically at the
following stations: http://www.mav-start.hu/ajanlatok/utazasi_ajanlat.php?mid=148526fc4e9d6e. Unfortunately not yet at Ferihegy airport station. The one-way full-fare to Nyugati is HUF 365 in 2nd class. Note: you have to buy a suplement on Intercity trains so it's better to choose the relatively frequent suburban trains (all train on the line stop at Ferihegy). The journey time is 22 minutes, but sometimes you can expects delays, normaly not more than 10 minutes. At Nyugati (center) you can easily verify if the train goes to airport because between the destinations it shows "AIRPORT" on the infromation screen. |
