May I ask where you see the €40 train fare? The round-trip fare from Bratislava to Budapest is €17.50 (second class). This is a walk-up fare, valid for one month. The round-trip fare is cheaper than the one-way fare, because Hungary and Slovakia have a bilateral agreement which gives significant discounts on second class round-trip tickets.
