Back in Romania – Impressions

Coming back to Pitesti was something i was looking forward to, but taking the bus…nope. When i left there were some things called “maxi-taxi” small wagons with 12-15 places that could take you to any part of the city, i did not like them as the drivers were too aggressive and they were dangerous in traffic. NOW we have a local company dealing with buses in the city. The price of the ticket (one way) is about 50 euro-cents or 1,7 RON for some, like me, that use to live in Vilnius where the bus was 30 Euro-cents it is kind of expensive for a city like Pitesti, but never mind the price. The biggest problem is to buy the tickets.

Option number 1: There are some yellow machines in some places in the city, you put your money in and you get the ticket, the only problem is that this things are only in the center and most of the time…they do not work. (please use the small crack for coins and the big one for bills not the other way around)

Option number 2: Buy from a dedicated place, but again this places are not that many and usually just in the center.

Option 3: Buy in the bus….they do not sell tickets in the bus.

Option 4: Ask the corner street stores, some of them are selling tickets but you have to walk a bit to get them.

Option 5: Get a monthly pass, this will solve the situation.

So make sure that when you get the chance you buy as many tickets as possible.

All in all, is better to walk…long live global warming, i love this December spring.
