Bus and taxi info

Buses run from 5:00 till 23:00; you have to get the ticket from the booth, NOT on the bus. If you arrive outside these times you will have to get a taxi. Taxis are 1.40 lei/km, anything else is a rip off. The price is around 30 lei from Baneasa and 40 lei from Otopeni. At Otopeni, you can get reliable taxies not in front of the airport but out in the parking lot, or out closer to the main street. At Baneasa, also, the taxis in front of the airport are not reliable. You will have to go outside, on the main street and get a taxi there.


If you have a cell phone you can call : Meridian taxi - 0040 21 9444 ; Taxi 2000 - 0040 21 9494 ; Confort taxi - 0040 21 9421 ( The Romania code is 0040, I quoted the numbers as if you cal from a foreign country cell phone).
