If you visit Hungary and arrive to Liszt Ferenc International Airport, public transport services of BKV offer you a good alternative to reach the city centre.
Budapest Airport is relatively well accessible also by Public Transportation means. Passengers are taken by a direct bus service from (and between) Terminals 1 and 2, called the Bus 200E to Kőbánya-Kispest metro terminal.
This service adjusts much better to the passenger traffic at the airport: it is larger so bigger luggages can be transported; it operates more frequently; and it operates for longer hours provideing a link between the city and the airport even after mindnight and at early dawn.
Bus 93 operates from Terminal 1 to Kőbánya-Kispest Metro Station. By the 'blue’ (3) Metro you can reach Deák Ferenc Square in the City in 20 minutes. Public Transportation Means can be used for a fare: the one-way through-ticket costs HUF 300, and from 1 February 2010: HUF 320. (400 HUF when buying on the bus from the driver). For more information about the public transportation of Budapest and the timetable of buses, see the public transportation company offical website.
