From 4 April, four more RegioJet trains will commute between the Hungarian capital and Vienna, the Austrian one. Ticket selling for the new trains started today.
According to iho.hu, 724 thousand passengers used the Prague-Budapest line in 2023. That is an 11% rise compared to 2022. Demand is high for the Vienna-Budapest line as well. Therefore, four RegioJet trains will be launched between the two capitals each day after 14 April.
More trains to commute between Budapest and Vienna
In Hungary, the trains are scheduled to stop at Budapest Déli, Kelenföld, Győr and Mosonmagyaróvár train stations. From Vienna to Budapest, they will leave at 7.34 a.m., 10.27 a.m., 2.34 p.m., and 5.27 p.m. In the opposite direction, they will commute at 7.45 a.m., 10.58 a.m., 2.45 p.m., and 6.45 p.m. The travel time is 2h 31 mins.
RegioJet believes they will offer high-quality service for an acceptable price. Passengers may choose from four classes: budget, standard, relax, and business.
Prices start from EUR 9 in the budget class and from EUR 15.9 in the business class where you can sit in a cabin of four couches drinking prosecco for free.

Excellent.
I have used RegioJet on numerous occasions from Budapest to Vienna & Vienna to Budapest.
I travel either Relax Class or Business Class.
I have never had reason to find criticism of there Service.
My only complaint has BEEN which I “put in writing” was the Public Address systems in the carriages was APPALLING.
It was a Health & Safety issue, the point I made to RegioJet pointing out what if, there was a situation of a need to vacate the train or “other” that was a life threatening situation.
The Public Address system(s) would be INEFFECTIVE in the example I write.
They are ineffective presently for announcements through the lack of volume and CLEARNESS of what the conductors communication to passengers refers.
RegioJet, which was muchly appreciated by me, did reply to my complaint and recommendation for improved SERVICE.
It was on there list of “things to do” and admitted THEY knew of the Problem.
I travel RegioJet again on the 8th April – Budapest to Vienna.
Hopefully, I can hear & understand – conductor to passengers COMMUNICATION over the Public Address system.
