Q: How do I get from Budapest airport to Keleti?

Bus 100E and metro M4: HUF 3,000 for one traveler, 28–55 min. It leaves you at Keleti palyaudvar, via Kalvin ter and a change to the M4. The 100E to Kalvin ter, then metro M4 three stops to Keleti palyaudvar: 3,000 Ft in total, since the 100E ticket carries no transfer and the M4 leg needs an ordinary 500 Ft single of its own. M4 runs from about 04:36 to 00:56; outside those hours the 100E itself keeps running, but nothing meets it at Kalvin ter.

The 2,500 Ft airport single for the 100E, plus an ordinary 500 Ft single for the M4: 3,000 Ft. The airport ticket buys one ride with no transfer, so the M4 leg needs a ticket of its own rather than a combined fare.

Luggage. A dedicated airport bus, then an ordinary metro carriage with no racks.

Hours. The 100E runs around the clock, but the M4 does not: about 04:36 to 00:56. Outside those hours the 100E still reaches Kalvin ter, but no metro meets it there.
