Public Transportation in Bucharest: Metro, Trams, and Buses

Published by Trip Romania

Getting around Bucharest is affordable and efficient if you know how the public transportation network works. Here is a quick guide to navigating the city like a local.

1. The Metro System

The Bucharest Metro is clean, fast, and connects most major areas and tourist sites across the city with cheap ticket fares.

2. Surface Transit (STB)

Buses and trams cover routes that the metro doesn't reach. You can easily pay contactless bank cards directly on board most vehicles.
