Multi-language speaking drivers know Budapest and its traffic, including the simplest and fastest routes very well.

Budapest Airport is relatively well accessible also by Public Transportation. Passengers are taken by a direct bus service from Terminals 1 and 2, called the Bus 200 to Köbánya-Kispest metro terminal providing a link between the city and the airport even after midnight 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 can be used for a fare: the one-way through-ticket costs HUF 230 [260 HUF when buying on the bus from the driver].
