EUR 5 is the online price. The operator says the promotion does not apply at the stop and does not publish what does, so buy before you walk out.

It runs hourly and the metro runs every few minutes; the M4 plus one change reaches the same station in about the same time for EUR 2.20. This coach is for someone who wants to sit with the bags and not change trains.

Which of the two timetables is running depends on the week: 09:00-21:00 with a 22:30, or 08:30-21:30. The operator's page collapses both into "08:30 - 22:30".

Arrive 15 minutes before departure with an online ticket; the operator asks for it.
