With all that time on the hands, I would be willing to take the 30 min. penalty and find another way into Budapest.

but we don't know if it would be a 30min penalty ? it could be lot more ?
Found some NEW details ~
The food task in Budapest proves to be a major roadblock for many of the teams, on THE AMAZING RACE 6, Tuesday, January 4 (9:00-10:00 PM) on CBS.
As teams continue to make their way through Budapest, infighting among teammates proves to be more challenging than the tasks they compete in.
When teams enter the "Heritage Rail Museum" to get their route marker, a large steel gate crashes down on two team members' heads. One team member loses their temper because they think that someone intentionally pulled the gate down and threatens the other teams. After getting the clue, one team opts for the Fast Forward where they engage in a ritual from Hungarian folklore of drinking a goblet of pig's blood. And, teams struggle through the roadblock of eating a 24-ounce bowl of spicy Hungarian soup. "

Why would they change the penalty time? A couple of other teams endured a 30 min. penalty earlier in the race. :\/

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They can't take a taxi because the clue said to go by train. In TAR3, Heather and Eve were penalized 30 minutes PLUS the time they gained by changing modes of transportation. We can only assume that Lori and Bolo would be penalized for the night they gained by taking the taxi. Maybe not, but from the looks of it, we'll never know.
In TAR1, Nancy and Emily were penalized 24 hours because they didn't just mess with transportation, they essentially skipped the detour (which was either take a bus to some destination or try and find a marked car to take there). They gave up and took a taxi, and thus never did the detour. Hence the massive penalty.
And yeah, if you check the CBS web site's summary of the last episode, they state that Lori and Bolo will _arrive_ in Budapest at 7:23; it isn't a departure time. I checked again, and this wasn't made clear at all on the show, but the web site gives it away

--- Quote ---The penalty for not following directions intentionally I believe is at least 12 hours, maybe 24. This is what Lori and Bolo would be doing if they were to take a taxi. Right now, they would lose only around 10 hours or so, and they probably would think since its nighttime in Budapest, there may be a chance to catch up.
Taking a 12 hour penalty to try and catch up will mean they're with the other teams, but technically 12 hours behind due to the penalty. It wouldn't work well at all.

That's the way I understand it also. The 30 minute time penalty would be added to whatever time advantage was gained. If this were not the case, you'd probably see teams breaking the rules right and left, if it would give them an advantage.
