It should be noted that the rise in transport fares in September across the country occurred against a backdrop of steadily rising fuel prices. As these have fallen in recent days, the maximum fare for road transport has also fallen, in accordance with the current methodology.
As Logos Press previously reported, the methodology for calculating fares for passenger road transport on regular inter-district and district routes has been in force since 1 March 2026.
The maximum fare is adjusted annually based on the average price of diesel fuel for the previous period. By law, it must be determined by 1 June. The Agency approves the values of its components used in calculating fares, whilst district councils approve the adjustment coefficients.
The fare calculation took into account the profitability of a notional route – 15 per cent, the fuel consumption rate per 100 km – 13.5 litres, the average fuel price – 19.87 lei, the proportion of taxes treated as expenses – 10 per cent, and other factors.
