Traian Vuia.

Duration: around 30-40 minutes to central stops such as Constanta (Regionale CFR), Sora, or Central.
One ticket costs 3 RON (~0.60 EUR) for a single ride, and you can buy it from ticket machines, or inside the bus using a contactless bank card.
💡 Important: You cannot buy regular daytime tickets from the driver. Make sure you purchase or validate your ticket before boarding or immediately after entering the bus.
If you choose to take a taxi, it will be your own expense because taxi fares are not refunded in our project, having available public transport.
Departure Day
Please make sure your return flights are booked for 23 October, no earlier than 06:00 a.m., to ensure you have enough time after arrival in Cluj.

You can also choose to stay 2–3 days after the project to explore Cluj-Napoca, at your own expense.
