The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.
Status
The Cívis InterRégió covers the 221 km Budapest-Nyugati to Debrecen run in 2 hours 55 minutes via Cegléd, Szolnok and Püspökladány, per its own Wikipedia infrastructure entry; MÁV also markets a faster-branded IC Nyírség service on the same corridor continuing to Nyíregyháza/Záhony.

Easy to get wrong
FlixBus added Budapest-Debrecen as one of its new domestic Hungarian connections when it opened local ticket sales in 2025/2026 - a genuinely separate coach alternative to MÁV, not merely FlixBus's pre-existing international through-routes via Debrecen.
