A bus that takes a long time.
خلفية ثقافية
The '7-es busz' is legendary in Budapest for being crowded and often slow, though it's now an express line. Complaining about it is a local tradition. In the countryside, a 'lassú busz' might be the only transport available, stopping at every small village (falujáró). It is socially acceptable to complain about the bus speed to strangers at the stop; it's seen as a way to share a common burden. The transition from old Ikarus buses to modern Mercedes/Volvo buses has changed the 'lassú busz' experience from noisy/shaky to just slow due to traffic.
Check the 'E'
In Budapest, buses with an 'E' (e.g., 100E) are express. If it doesn't have an 'E', it might be a 'lassú busz'.
Don't forget the 'sz'
In Hungarian, 's' is 'sh' and 'sz' is 's'. Saying 'bus' (with an 'sh') sounds like 'bush' in English and is wrong.
