Iasi Airport (IAS) to the city
A 120 minute ticket is 4 lei and a 24 hour one 13 lei, on line 50 between the airport and Piata Unirii.
- A single valid 120 minutes costs 4 lei. A two journey ticket is 8 lei, a 24 hour ticket 13 lei and a three day tourist pass 30 lei.
- A seven day pass is 35 lei and a 30 day one 130 lei across all lines.
- Line 50 is the airport route, running Aeroport, Piata Independentei, Piata Unirii and Targu Cucu, and back.
- The airport sits close to Iasi, on the eastern edge of the city rather than out in the country.
- CTP Iasi runs the city bus and tram network that serves it.
- The airport's own transport page publishes nothing readable: no line number, no timetable, no fare.
- Taxis wait at the terminal, and a short city ride is the fallback.
- Iasi is a large university city, so the network is dense once you are on it.
What the bus costs
| Ticket | Price |
|---|---|
| Single, 120 minutes | 4 lei |
| Two journeys, 120 minutes each | 8 lei |
| 24 hours | 13 lei |
| Three day tourist pass | 30 lei |
| Seven day pass | 35 lei |
| 30 days, all lines | 130 lei |
- Four lei is about eighty euro cents, and it buys 120 minutes rather than one ride, so a change on the way in costs nothing extra.
- The three day tourist pass at 30 lei is aimed squarely at visitors and pays off from the eighth journey.
- The 24 hour ticket at 13 lei is the arrival day buy if you are moving around after dropping your bags.
The line
- Line 50 runs Aeroport, Piata Independentei, Piata Unirii, Targu Cucu and back.
- Piata Unirii is the centre, and the one most arrivals want.
What the airport does not tell you
- Its own transport page publishes no line number, timetable or fare in a form you can read.
- Check the CTP Iasi journey planner before you fly, using Aeroport as your origin, rather than working it out on the kerb.
The setting
- The airport is on the eastern edge of the city, not out in the country, which is why an ordinary city bus reaches it.
- Iasi is a large university city, so the network is dense once you are on it.
