Public Transport In Bucharest
The overground transport system in Bucharest is made up of buses, trolleybuses and trams. Services generally start around 5am with the morning rush fro 06.00am to about 09.00. The return home is between 15.00 and 17.30. At these peak times the transport can become very cramped.
Tickets have to purchased in advance and, cost 8,000 lei for single journeys. They must be stamped /punched in one of the many machines on board - this part of the excerise s not straight forward so see how other people do it! Beware of pick pockets. Plain clothed ticket inspectors operate on all services and will fine fare evaders on the spot.
Another option for visitors are Maxi Taxis which connect central Bucharest with the main tourist attractions. There are five routes. Maxi-Taxis are white with 8 to 10 seats that you hail like a normal taxi. Tickets are bought on board and cost about .33€.
The Bucharest Metro is only about 25 years old and currently being extended. Tickets cost 8,000 lei but are much cheaper if bought in sets of 10. Lines M1 & M3 are not very frequent. Line M2 which serves key areas and Bucharest University is busy. All lines are remarkably clean.
Officially services run from 04.30 -23.30 with a 5-10 minute frequency - though the latter is debatable in the evenings.
