Bucharest has the largest public transport network in Romania and ranks among the largest in Europe, serving over 2 million inhabitants.
The system consists of a metro network of about 80 km with five operational lines and 64 stations, while a sixth line is under construction to expand the reach. The surface transport network features over 100 bus lines, 15 trolleybus routes, and around 20 modernised tram lines, all managed by STB and coordinated regionally by TPBI.
Express airport connections have been updated: the main express bus is now line 100 Express, linking Henri Coandă International Airport to Unirii Square with journeys taking 40 to 60 minutes. Tickets cannot be bought onboard but are available at booths, machines, or via smart card and mobile apps. Although line 780 still runs occasionally to connect the airport with Gara de Nord, its service is no longer regular. Piata Presei and the surrounding northern areas remain well-connected by a variety of bus lines (105, 131, 148, 149, 205, 261, 304, 330, 331, 335, 361, 449) and tram lines such as line 41, benefiting from ongoing infrastructure upgrades. A unified innovative ticketing system now facilitates seamless transfers between metro and surface transport, complemented by tourist travel cards and real-time travel information to enhance accessibility and user experience.
Ride-sharing apps like Uber, Bolt and Yango are well-established in Bucharest and represent a good alternative to taxis.
