Hi, I was researching trains from Vienna to Budapest and the vast majority seem to be run by OBB, which I've heard of. That said, Regiojet is about half the price. Has anyone used Regiojet? I've only hear OBB referenced in this travel forum.
Also, OBB arrives in Keleti station whereas Regiojet arrives in Kelnfoeld. Is Keleti much more centrally located?
Thank you!
The Regiojet actually goes as far as Deli station in Buda. Metro and trams there to take you across the river to Pest. Keleti is probably a little closer to the center city, but not by much.
Look at Relax class on Regiojet, roughly equivalent to 1st class on Railjet.
You can find videos on YouTube documenting the trip between Vienna and Budapest - it looks fine.
If buying a ticket on the RegioJet website, Kelenfold defaults as the station if you use Budapest as the destination. Type Budapest Deli and you will get the Deli station - it's on the Buda side, but has an easy Metro connection into the center of Pest.
