Where we stop in the centre
In the centre it is harder to stop than in the districts: traffic is heavy on Ștefan cel Mare Boulevard and around the Central Market, and many streets are one-way. Mention an entrance or a side street, so the driver can stop without blocking traffic. At hotels and offices on the boulevard come out of the main entrance, and near Great National Assembly Square we wait on a side street where stopping is allowed.
Telecentru and Malina Mică are the neighbourhoods south of the centre, with blocks and houses, towards Botanica and the road out to Codru; by Telecentru, on Șoseaua Hîncești, is the Southern bus station, with buses to the south of the country. At the railway station we wait in the square in front of the building. At the Central Market and the bus station next to it we pick you up from a nearby street, because by the stalls the traffic is the heaviest in the city.

Questions
What does a taxi from the centre to the airport cost, and how long does it take?
The drive usually takes about a quarter of an hour along Dacia Boulevard, longer at rush hour. For this ride there is a price for the whole trip, the one in the table above, rather than the kilometres on the meter.
Will you pick me up at the railway station?
Yes. Give the train arrival time and where it comes from, and the dispatcher sends the car to the square in front of the station. If the train is late, the driver waits, and waiting is paid by the hour.
Do you come to the pedestrian streets in the centre?
We cannot drive into streets closed to cars, so the driver waits at the nearest corner where stopping is allowed. The dispatcher tells you where when they call. Give the nearest landmark: a café, a hotel or a stop.
