It ends where the expensive bus ends, at Deak Ferenc ter, for about a quarter of the price and about nine minutes more.

Do not buy the airport ticket for this bus. The 2,500 Ft airport ticket is expressly not valid on the 200E — you need an ordinary ticket.

You change from the bus to metro M3 at Kobanya-Kispest, which is the end of the bus leg and signposted.

At night the route changes but the fare does not: after the metro stops, the 200E runs on to Hatar ut, where night buses leave for the centre roughly every ten minutes. Allow about 50 minutes.

Both the 30-minute and 90-minute tickets allow unlimited transfers within their window.
