Travel advice Kosice to Budapest and back?
Posted by Hopeful_Bumblebee426@reddit | askhungary | View on Reddit | 3 comments
TIA for anyone who can help me with any advice. Please can someone help me figure out the costs of travelling from Kosice to Budapest in June? I have looked into both train and bus but I am getting confused and to be entirely honest the stop names are throwing me off!
Is it better to get a bus or a train from Kosice to Budapest? I think I read there are very few direct trains, but are there any direct buses? Also please could someone give me a ballpark figure of how much this would cost per person, I have read varying amounts and I'm getting in a pickle!
Many many thanks From a Reddit thread lurker to first time poster

There are many trains, every two hours. You can buy tickets from MÁV or ZSSK, the two railway companies who operate the trains.

Train ticket - 18-25€/ one way/ person ( 4h 5min) Bus - from 16- 24€/ one way/ person ( 3h 45min or 4h) Check the actual price (train) : https://www.zssk.sk/en/ or bus tickets on Flixbus

Not much of a long distance public transport kind of guy here, but looking into it both train and bus would cost your roughly 20€. Train might be faster, provided that it isn't arriving late to the station.
Example of a bus ride but this is from Budapest. If Kosice (Kassa) is your starting point, might wanna try the Slovakian sub.
Also for bus trips only look into private companies. For trains there are public transport options that go cross-country but for buses it gets more complicated.
