Blocks and houses in Buiucani
Buiucani has two sides: the blocks of Sculeanca and Alba Iulia Street, and the streets of houses with yards towards Valea Morilor and Durlești. At a house with a gate, give the number and a landmark so the driver does not pass it. Some of the house streets are narrow and steep; in winter, if the car cannot climb to your gate, the driver calls and waits at the corner with the main street.
Along Calea Ieșilor you leave town for Strășeni and Ungheni, and from Sculeanca you are soon in Durlești, Trușeni and Ghidighici. The airport road crosses the whole city from west to south-east, so for a flight leave in good time, especially in the morning, when everyone is driving into the centre.

Questions
How long is the drive from Buiucani to the airport?

Do you come to the houses on the small streets of Buiucani?
Yes. Give the house number and a landmark, such as a school or a shop, because the numbers on the streets of houses are hard to see at night. If your gate opens onto a side street, say so too.
Will you take me from Buiucani to Durlești or Trușeni?
Yes, they are close: Durlești is only a few minutes away. The suburbs are charged at the outside-city kilometre, listed with the fares. If you also need the ride back, give the time when you book so the car comes on time.
