Chernivtsi–Bucharest bus: route, border and luggage

The Chernivtsi–Bucharest bus service allows you to travel from Bukovina to Romania without having to fly. To ensure your journey goes smoothly, it is important to compare not only the departure times, but also the boarding point, journey duration, stops and the rules of the specific operator.

How to choose a journey

Enter the correct date on RedRay and compare the available options. Pay attention to the full address of the bus stop in Chernivtsi, the arrival point in Bucharest, any possible transfers and the total journey time. A service that departs a little later is sometimes more convenient due to the location of the bus station or the arrival time.

Ticket and boarding

Once you’ve booked, check the passenger’s name, date, time, city names and boarding address. Save your ticket on your phone and make a separate offline copy. Arrive in good time: at a large coach station, it takes a while to find the platform and make your way to the coach with your luggage.

Documents, border and luggage

Have the original documents required for your specific situation to hand. At the border, follow the instructions of the driver and border officials; do not leave your documents in your suitcase. It is impossible to guarantee how long the border checks will take, so do not plan any short, independent connections upon arrival. The rules for travelling to Romania are summarised in a separate article by RedRay.

Arrival in Bucharest

Before you set off, make a note of the address of the Bucharest coach station, a map of the city and the route to your accommodation or next mode of transport. Check whether public transport will be running at the time of your arrival. Useful details for this destination can be found in the article on preparing for the next stage of your journey.

A quick checklist

• check the date, departure and arrival addresses;
• check your documents and baggage allowance;
• download your ticket and a map for offline use;
• set aside some money for border crossings and local transport.

Timetables are subject to change, so please check the final details on your ticket and in the carrier’s notifications immediately before departure.
