General information
Moldova
Another municipal company, I.M. Parcul Urban de Autobuze, operates a network of dieselbuses is Chișinău.
In addition to the two municipal companies, several private operators are active in the city, some with large buses, other with small ones. Rarely a company name is displayed. In January 2019 14 private companies were licensed to operate in Chișinău. The municipality publishes a list with names, contacts and routes. It can be downloaded here. One of the companies, Rita Prim, has secondhand Dutch Den Oudsten buses.
Several other companies exist in Moldova, BIAS Trans is an example. However, most interurban and rural buses don’t display a company name, just a destination board.
The fleets of RTEC and PAU are a mix of older East European vehicles (ZIU, Skoda, Ikarus) and a variety of new vehicles. Other buses are mostly secondhand west European vehicles. Among those many Mercedes buses and coaches, but also some Setra and Den Oudsten.
