Route 100E is a bus route in Budapest that serves as an express service between Liszt Ferenc International Airport and downtown Pest. It is operated by ArrivaBus for Budapesti Közlekedési Központ (BKK) and requires a premium fare (2200 HUF one-way as of April 2023[2]). The route operates at all times.
History
[edit]Route 100E was introduced on July 8, 2017—a few days before the 17th FINA World Championships[3][4]—to supplement the existing 200E service, in operation in some form since 1960. Frequency and operating hours were first extended on 18 May 2018.[5] Since August 2022,[6] 100E operates at all times. In April 2023, BKK added the English-language designation "Airport Express" to the route's destination signs as a pathfinding measure for non-Hungarian speakers.[7]
BKK has always charged a premier fare on this route, although this fare's price has steadily increased over time, from 900 to 1500 HUF in July 2022 and then to 2200 HUF in April 2023.[8][9] These price increases, as well as the route's contactless payment system, standalone on the BKK network, have been criticized.[10][11]
According to BKK's internal data, 83% of the service's users are foreign visitors to Hungary.[12]
