Airport
If you don't have a lot of luggage, the cheapest (and sometimes fastest) way is to use the regular (blue) bus service that for the price of a regular ticket (350 HUF) takes you to the end station of underground (Metro) line No 3. From 4:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., bus number 200E commutes between Terminal 2 and the Kőbánya-Kispest metro terminal (metro line M3), via the Ferihegy train station (trains to the Nyugati railway station in Budapest).
From 11:00 p.m.to 4:00 a.m., night bus number 900 operates between Budapest Airport Terminal 2 and the South Pest bus garage. At the Szarvas csárda tér stop, it is possible to change to night buses 950 and 950A, operating to the inner city.
There is a shuttle service called Airport Minibus, which costs 3200 HUF per person. You can also buy a return ticket for 5500 HUF per person. The Minibus shuttle picks you up together with 4-5 other passengers and takes you to the address you give. You may buy your minibus ticket at the counter in the arrival hall (ATM's and exchange bureaus are available at the airport). Your return trip should be ordered by phone 1 or 2 days before leaving. (phone #: 296-8555). For years this service was the best one, but recently the quality declined (they have less cars, etc.) If you see many people waiting, it is better to take a taxi or a bus.
The taxis you see when walking out of the airport, The price for a ride to the city center is roughly 6500 HUF. For more information, click here
