There are two basic ways of getting around the city : personal vehicle and public transport-which comprises mostly of buses.
By bus
The linear structure of the city makes it virtually impossible to get lost, and the local transport fast and reliable. A normal one-way ticket will cost you around 50 Eurocents 1.7 RON. The main bus lines are : 3, 17, 18 and 22, of which only the 22 has a different route : from the south entrance in the city from Bucharest where all the hypermarkets are towards Arena Mall. The rest have the same starting point, but go towards the train station following various - yet close - routes.
By car
The city's main roads are in excellent state, but there is a noticeable lack of parking spaces. Parking is free almost anywhere in the city. The town has a length of about 20 km North-to-South, but this distance is littered with traffic lights. There is an alternative route - make a left turn just before Narcisa Bridge about 4 km from the Metro hypermarket, coming in from the south. The road will lead you around the city (with a beautiful view of it to the road to Transylvania left turn about half the way, or left where the road ends into a Y intersection - through the outskirts. If you want to go to Roman or further on to Suceava or IaÈi, you have to go through the city centre, and over ÈerbÄneÈti Bridge over the BistriÈa River.
