In March 2024, a new opportunity arises for passengers in Romania and Bulgaria as the private operator Transferoviar Călători launches cross-border trains connecting Ruse, Bucharest, and the Bulgarian capital, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

A cross-border route is opening

This became possible after the modernization of the Giurgiu–Koman–Bucharest North railway line.

Passengers will be able to use diesel trains Coradia Lint 41, developed by Alstom, with a maximum speed of 160 km/h.

Travel time to Bucharest will range from 50 to 60 minutes, to the airport – 80–100 minutes.

The cost of the journey will not exceed 25 Romanian lei (about 5 euros), making it a convenient and affordable option for travel between the two countries.
