Transportation
Excerpts from Renyi Institute's Contact & Directions page
Airport
The easiest and most comfortable way of coming into town is to take an
airport shuttle (miniBUD), which will pick you up along with a few other passengers and take you to the address you indicate (the name of the hotel usually suffices). You may buy your minibus ticket right off in the baggage reclaim area or in the arrival hall.
The Taxis you see when walking out of the airport (Fotaxi) are rather expensive (7000 HUF). It is better to call a taxi company working with fixed rates.
There is also a regular (blue) bus (No. 200E) leaving roughly every 15 minutes, which for a normal Budapest bus ticket (350 HUF) takes you to the end station of underground line No. M3.
A further possiblity is to use the new airport city bus (No. 100E, operating from 04:00AM until 0:30AM every 30 minutes) between the airport and downtown Budapest (Deak Ferenc Square). A single-trip ticket costs 900HUF (3EUR).
Public transport
In Budapest, there is a great variety of public transport: underground (metro), buses, trams, even trolleys.
For more information on schedules or night services see the page of BKK Zrt. (Centre for Budapest Transport Ltd.)
Taxis
In general, when taking a taxi while in Budapest it is better to take one belonging to a taxi company.
Otherwise you should inquire about the fare in advance in order to diminish the risk of an unpleasant surprise.
Also if it is possible, call a taxi by phone instead of flagging one - it's cheaper.
