Summary:
The Budapest Transport Centre (BKK) has announced that they will be increasing the price of airport tickets from HUF 1,500 to HUF 2,200 from 1 April 2023 due to rising inflation and the weak euro-forint exchange rate. This increase will only affect 4% of total ticket revenue, as most of the passengers on the route are foreign tourists who use the company's services only occasionally and are thus less sensitive to the ticket price. Despite the increase, the new fare for the 100E bus, which is typically used by tourists, will still be lower than fares in cities surveyed internationally. BKK said that the prices of tickets and season tickets are set by the Budapest Municipality, which seeks to keep the prices of basic tickets affordable as long as they have the financial means to do so.
