Public transport in Bucharest supplemented for events at the National Arena
Residents of the capital who use public transport should be aware that the schedule for several lines will be extended this evening. The measure was taken by the authorities to facilitate the travel of spectators attending events organized at the National Arena.
In total, eight public transport lines will operate on a special schedule. These include tram lines 1, 5, and 10, trolleybus lines 85 and 90, as well as bus lines 104, 311, and 640. These will provide increased transport capacity to avoid congestion at the end of the event.
The first additional vehicles are scheduled to arrive in the National Arena area immediately after the show concludes. Bucharest public transport representatives recommend that passengers check the updated schedule on the official website or through transport apps to see the exact arrival times at stations.
This decision comes in the context of local authorities trying to encourage the use of public transport over personal cars, especially during events with large audiences. The measure is intended to reduce traffic jams in the stadium area and to provide a safe and efficient alternative for citizens.
Passengers are advised to have their travel cards ready in advance or to use the contactless payment methods available on the vehicles. Authorities will monitor the flow of passengers and will intervene if additional vehicles are needed to pick up all spectators under optimal conditions.
