The new railway connection from Bulgaria to Romania will be launched in March
In March 2024, a new railway connection is planned to be launched, connecting Ruse in Bulgaria with Henri Coanda International Airport in Bucharest.
The route, operated by Transferoviar Calatori (TFC), a private railway operator, will pass through Giurgiu and Bucharest North after the modernization of the Giurgiu-Comana-Bucharest North line is completed, Novinite.com reports.
Travelers will be provided with a quick trip between Ruse and Bucharest North, which will take about 50-60 minutes. The fare is 25 lei (approximately 5 euros).
The new service will use Alstom Coradia LINT 41 trains, known for their ability to reach speeds of up to 160 km/h. These French-made, two-car trains are air-conditioned and have a capacity of 130 passenger seats, including 16 in first class. Alstom Coradia trains have already started commercial operations, initially connecting Bucharest North and Brasov.
This railway initiative promises to significantly improve the connection between Ruse and Bucharest, offering passengers a convenient and affordable travel option, especially useful for those seeking to reach Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport.
