I arrived in Chisinau on the express minibus number 709, which departs at 20:00 from the Balti bus station. Fast, convenient, on time.Thanks to the driver.
From the Balti bus station you can get to different cities and villages of Moldova and abroad too. You can choose the appropriate time and day of departure, and purchase a ticket in advance at the ticket office of the bus station.
It would be good if the roads at the bus station were repaired a little.
It's just a nightmare. I do not know where to write a complaint about the driver, so I will write here…
The first time I used this station, I took a minibus to Chisinau Airport, which departs at 20.00. At 19.59 right before departure, the driver put a whole Tsigane camp in the minibus, despite the fact that there was only one free seat ... As far as it was clear, they bought tickets not through the ticket office but on the driver's seat, I don't know how normal this is, but I decided to label it. Along with the Tsigany camp, there were five more of their children who had nowhere to sit... as a result, the gypsies shoved their children to people who paid for seats, because according to the rules, children should sit. The others were sitting right on the floor in the aisle. I had to drive for 2 hours in such a mess. Plus, the stowaways started a dump in the minibus itself, swore among themselves, did not respect personal space…
I think it's the driver's fault and that people should know that this is possible. Therefore, I leave this review here. To put it mildly, the trip was not a success ... Take care of yourself from such negative stories.
The place seems to be quite good, but the road around the station itself leaves much to be desired - the asphalt looks like after an earthquake.
I am sure that this place should be more beautiful, as guests come here.
On the second floor of the main building, where the furniture store now lives, there is a chic Soviet mosaic panel (about expensive, uniting the whole country and people) and a clock.
We have never been in the waiting room, but compared to a / stations in other Moldovan cities and villages, it is gorgeous here: you can eat (there are a lot of eateries), withdraw money from an ATM, get a haircut, etc.
Although in general, of course, it is a miserable ignorance.
Homeless people are constantly sitting in the waiting room, the smell is terrible, the cashiers are constantly rude, it's impossible to get through. But we've got enough stores. It would be better to make sure that you can normally wait for your minibus, and not about how to stuff more into someone's pocket
