Chisinau to Bucharest Destination Reviews

JB
The bus was as expected, but the air vent above the seat did not work so found the journey, with a full bus of people very stuffy & too warm (especially when the bus was at the border crossing for an hour with the engine turned off). The overhead light did not come on either. Given the length of the journey, it was value for money.

The driver was very good and managed the trip well. The problem I had specifically I do not speak much Russian or Romanian and was difficult to understand. In fairness he did tell me when we arrived at the airport.
