Transportation to Chisinau Airport from the City Center

 

Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, is a large industrial city located along the river Bâc. Chisinau International Airport opens its doors to passengers who want to visit Chisinau, Moldova's most developed and populated city. Chisinau is divided into two main regions, the old part of the city and the new part of the city, which is considered the city center. Stefan cel Mare Street and Stefan cel Mare Park make up the city center. The Chisinau railway station is located in the city center and is the only train station in the city. Despite the presence of railways, urban rail transportation is not provided in the city. Buses are not a very popular method of transportation within the city either.

Trolleybuses and minibuses called "rutiera" are very important methods of public transportation in the city. You need to buy tickets to travel on public transportation vehicles in the city. Once on board you must show your ticket to the ticket collector. You can purchase a single-use ticket or monthly tickets. Monthly tickets are a better option for those who are planning on a longer stay in the city.

Traveling by taxi or rental car are other convenient alternatives in addition to public transportation. You can get to the airport from the city center via private airport shuttles or minibuses. These vehicles depart from the city center, which is accessible via public transportation vehicles from almost any part of the city.

The airport is also accessible via taxi or rental car. Both alternatives provide direct and quick transportation from the city center to the airport.

Shuttle

Chisinau International Airport's own private shuttle provides transportation from the city center to the airport. The route starts at Dimitrie Cantemir Square, and continues to Ştefan cel Mare şi Sfînt Street, C. Negruzzi Street, Yuri Gagarin Street, Decebal Street, Dacia Street, and then ends at the airport.

Minibus (Rutieră)

Minibuses are the most convenient option to get to the airport from the city center. Minibuses cost the same as the airport shuttle services do, however they run more frequently than the shuttle does. Minibuses that provide transportation to the airport run every 10 minutes. Minibus line 165 passes by Ismail Street, Dimitrie Cantemir Street, Yuri Gagarin Ave., Decebal Street, Trandafirilor, and Dacia Ave before arriving at the airport.

Ticket prices are quite affordable but if you have a large suitcase you might have to pay an extra fee. Usually there is an assistant sitting next to the driver. If there is an assistant in the vehicle, and the vehicle does not have an automatic door system, the minibus doors are opened by that assistant.

There aren’t that many designated minibus stops but drivers will usually stop wherever you want to get off. However, according to new legislation issued recently, the driver is technically only allowed to let you off at designated minibus stops. Some minibus lines can travel on more than one route within the city. So it would be beneficial to follow the route display screen on board to understand where the vehicle is going. To hail a minibus in the street, simply raise your hand.

Trolleybus

The airport is not directly served by trolleybus from the city center. However, you can access minibus and airport shuttles that travel to the airport by trolleybus. One of the most important means of public transport in Chisinau is by trolleybus.

There are twenty-two trolleybus lines that operate in the city. These lines include, line 1 the str. Bariera Sculeni – str. Sarmizegetusa route, line 4 the Gradina Botanica – str. Zelinski route, line 5 the parcul "La izvor" route, line 17 the Schinossa 1 route, line 20 the str. Dokuceaev route, and line 28 the or. Durlești – bd. Gagarin route, all of which connect with the Chisinau railway station.

In Chisinau, traveling bus isn’t very common within the city. However, buses are a popular alternative for transportation between cities and to other countries. So if you want to travel to nearby areas from Chisinau, then traveling by bus is a convenient option. There are 3 bus terminals in Chisinau, the Central Station, Gara de Nord and Gara de Sud.

Train

Just as with buses, trains provide transit services between cities or between countries. Located in the city center, the Chisinau Central Railway Station provides public transportation services to Romania, Russia, Ukraine and other CIS countries.

Taxi

There are about forty taxi companies operating in the city. These companies provide transportation both within the city and outside of the city. You can easily hail a cab in the street or arrange one over the phone. When you contact the taxi company by phone often there is someone who speaks English. Taxi rates are much more expensive when compared to public transportation alternatives.

Rental Car

Another transportation alternative to get to the airport is by rental car. There are various rental car offices located in the city that you can choose from. Renting a car is a fast and convenient way to get to the airport. You can also reserve a vehicle in advance online.
