GETTING AROUND IN MOLDOVA
BY RAIL
There is over 1145km (715 miles) of railway track in use in Moldova. Trains run daily to Ocnita, Tighina and Ungheni, and there are connections to most areas of the country. For more details, contact the information service of Moldovan Railways (tel: (22) 252 737/5; website: www.railway.md).
BY ROAD
The road network covers 13,622km (8500 miles).
Bus
These run between most of the larger towns and cities. For further information, contact either Chisinau Main Bus Station (tel: (22) 542 185) or South East Bus Station (tel: (22) 723 983).
Car rental
Self-drive cars can be obtained for self-drive or with an English-speaking driver. Avis car hire is represented in Chisinau.
Documentation: An International Driving Permit is required.
URBAN TRANSPORTATION
Buses, trolleybuses and minibuses are cheap but notoriously crowded and unreliable. They all operate from 0500-2400 with services every 15 minutes. Tickets for buses and trolleybuses can be purchased from kiosks or on board the vehicle. Minibus tickets are bought from the driver.
Taxis can be found everywhere. Fares should be negotiated in advance, though drivers prefer to charge per hour. Taxis are requested by calling 900 or 905-8. |
