No, hilarious is your not bothering to read the article properly. Budapest and Bucharest are each mentioned exactly once and appropriately in context.
"A Hungarian police car stops the bus shortly before Budapest, and once again demands €200"
and
" Others were back in Romania only briefly because they needed to take care of paperwork in Bucharest."
Hilarious that the author thinks Budapest (this is the capital of Hungary) is in Romania :). Maybe he thought of Bucharest.
