Budapest Airport Express bus: major positive changes from this weekend
Due to the expected increase in summer traffic at the airport, the 100E Budapest Airport Express bus will run more frequently during the day between Deák Ferenc Square and Liszt Ferenc International Airport, Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) informed MTI.
According to the announcement, starting from Friday this week, buses will depart from the terminus every 7-8 minutes on weekdays, more frequently than usual.
The express service will always be aligned with the airport’s major traffic direction, with more frequent departures towards the airport early in the day and towards the city centre late in the evening.
The 100E Airport Express runs between the Liszt Ferenc International Airport and Deák Ferenc Square, the main transport hub of Budapest, via Kálvin Square.
The bus service runs day and night.
By train to Budapest Airport?
As there is no train service between Hungary’s airport and the city centre, the most popular public transport is the Budapest Airport Express, introduced in 2017. Since the Hungarian government bought Budapest Airport, details HERE, there is now more likely to be a train connection to the airport. The most economical and practical option would be to connect to the state train network, but recently the Orban government has been in talks with the Chinese to build a separate train line to the city centre.

We really need a train, at an affordable price. No question about it.
Without a doubt that’s correct. Moreover, it should be the proposed diversion of the main railway line running adjacent to the airport perimeter, guaranteeing a fast and frequent service not just into Budapest, but also to areas to the east. The economic value would be immeasurably high. Having achieved this, there would be nothing to stop the launch of a dedicated non-stop airport train as a higher priced prestige service. The proposed Chinese built line is an expensive waste of money as it would do nothing to improve connectivity to the regions, nor could it offer the sort of frequent service that would be afforded with the rail line diversion. I certainly wouldn’t use it, nor would the bulk of arriving passengers, while serving to torpedo the business case for the main line diversion as it would cannibalise too many passengers that would otherwise travel with MAV. If anything happens, unfortunately I think it’ll be the Chinese line as that serves Beijing’s interests.
