Romania Transport

Transport

When in the main cities such as Constanta and Bucharest, travel is no problem. There are frequent buses and in Bucharest itself there is a surprisingly efficient tube network (better than London I thought - http://www.romaniatourism.com/maps/bucharest/subway_map.html).

 When you get out into the styx it becomes a different story. The main roads are generally well maintained but the transport of choice out in the countryside is horse and cart. Buses exist between towns but are infrequent (1-2 a day) and packed. Its not uncommon for farmers to use them to take chickens and other animals to market, so I wouldnt expect a seat if the goats in it first! However saying that, its extremely cheap and the drivers tend to be quite helpful if youre clueless about procedure.
