Coaches leave from Népliget stop in Budapest and the next stop is Kelenföld railway station where you can get on. Wherever you get on, it doesn’t change the ticket price. It’s a bit hard to find the stop at Kelenföld so I suggest to arrive there a bit earlier.

When booking a ticket, you can choose the most suitable seat depending on you travel alone, with another person or in group. So you can decide whether you would like a traditional seat or a seat with table, or extra view is more important for you!

There are several sockets on the bus so you don’t have to worry about your battery is running low, and you can even find place for your luggages in the storage above the seats.
