How long does the 100E airport bus take at night, and is a taxi faster?

The 100E runs 24 hours a day, and the ride to Deák Ferenc tér takes about 40 minutes. Journey planners show anything between about 30 and 50 minutes, depending on traffic and the stop they assume.

At night the buses run every 30–40 minutes, so the wait can matter more than the ride time.

A taxi leaves right away and also takes 30–40 minutes, a little less when the roads are empty. If the next bus is far off, the taxi is faster door to door.

The 100E costs 2,500 HUF per person, against roughly 14,000 HUF for a taxi. If you land late, check the next departure in the BudapestGO app before you decide.
