The train goes from Budapest Nyugati Pályaudvar (E) to Szeged (F),
which is the final station of the train. The train stops at Budapest
Airport Terminal #1 (B, take the overpass to Ferihegy megállóhely) and
Kőbánya-Kispest (C), too, so you do not have take the merto if you do
not want. Kőbánya-Kispest also has a huge shopping center besides

Going further by metro you get to Nyugati pu. (E) which also has a
huge shopping centre (West End City Centre) with a Cinema.

2.5 hours and costs about 15 euros (one way ticket).

line (direction Újpest Központ) to Népliget (D, 4 stops).
Busses are less frequent than trains (especially on weekends),  but in
general you will find a bus every 2 hours (~07:00 til ~20:00). The bus
takes about 2.5 - 3 hours depending on the number of stops.
