How to get around Romania?
Passenger trains, electric trains, buses, taxis, and planes are at your disposal.
Usually, all means of the city public transport operate non-stop from 5:00 till 23:00. You can buy tickets at stalls near the stops.
As for intercity connections, there are buses, trains, and planes. Usually, direct inner air transportation is rare and relatively expensive.
