User Esko says: in April 2016 the fence is still broken. There is a barrier, but if you are able to climb a 180 cm high wall (there is a fence on a side, which makes it easier), you can go to the main road through a hole in the fence. The broken part of the fence is next to the tunnel which the bus arrives into the parking lot. It's maybe better to get out one stop before Carrefour, because otherwise you will spend a lot of time looking for a way to the main road, supposing the fence is repaired or you cannot climb the wall.

Take the M2 metro in direction of ''Berceni''. Get off at ''Eroi Revolutiei'' and look for the ''City Mall'', walk towards it and you will see that the road forks. Take the right fork, the road will be called ''Giurgiului''. Just after the city mall, there's a tram ticket office. Get a ticket (1.3 Lei as of October 2009), and walk a bit more on the road to get to the tram stop. It's right in the middle of the road. Take tram #7 or #25 to the last stop. Then walk down the road for 5 minutes and you will reach a service station on the right hand. You can ask people here or stop cars passing on the main road.
There's a train from ''Gara de Nord'' to [[Giurgiu]] (leaving at 20:00 and 12:00, August 2010), for the equivalent of about 7 euro.
==== Personal experiences ====[[UserFile:Guaka|guaka]] thought it was a good option to get Romania-erga on the way out of the city in the evening, but Giurgiu's train station is not even close to the city, or the border, so a bad option for the nightbucharest. If you consider this option to save some time it's probably much better to take the train directly JPG|thumb|250px|right|Erga hitchhiking to [[RuseBucharest]].

The Transylvanian road runs through [[Sibiu]] and [[Cluj-Napoca]]. This is the standard route for central and western Transylvania, the other route through Brasov is a "scenic" journey that takes longer.

Take bus nr. 783 towards Otopeni Airport (e.g. from Piata Unirii, Piata Romana or Piata Victoriei) and get off at the stop called 'Aleea Privighetorilor'. You can hitchhike right at the busstop.
Note that this road is an old road towards Ploiesti and some kilometers to the east there is a (new) highway, but many people still use it to go to Ploiesti or further north. Plus this road goes through some villages and therefore cars are not driving very fast and have plenty of opportunities to stop.
== Public transport ==
* Buses have a special program for night also. They start their route from "Piata Unirii" between 23:00 and 06:00. The buses start the routes at sharp hours.
