On Easter and on Memorial Easter, public transport in Chisinau will operate on a holiday schedule and with additional vehicles, under an order signed today by acting mayor Ruslan Codreanu.
On Easter, April 28, trolleybuses and buses will operate until midnight, and minibuses will continue to operate for as long as passenger numbers allow.
On Memorial Easter, which falls this year on May 5 and 6, rides will be free on bus routes no. 27, C and D. Routes C and D are special bus routes introduced each year on Memorial Easter to handle the massive flow of people going to the Saint Lazarus Cemetery (also commonly known as Doina Cemetery, hence C and D) to honor their dead. Alternatively, people can take a minibus on routes no. 132, 134, 162 on 184.
As in previous years, on Memorial Easter only public transport will be allowed on Doina Street heading to Chisinau’s largest cemetery.
