Line 101 to Ford at an island stop on the boulevard, the gold tower behind
Two lines, 100 and 101, sharing the same track through the middle of town along Calea București and past the National Theatre. The 101 is the longer of the two — Izvorul Rece / CLF on the west side out to the Ford works on the east, 22 stops, a little over half an hour end to end. Track, overhead and stops were rebuilt between 2022 and 2023, and low-floor cars run the line. Stops are islands in the middle of the road, reached across the traffic lanes. Tickets work as they do on the buses: buy before boarding, validate on board, and the fares are the same — except that the outer section of the tram route costs 6 lei rather than 4. Both of the big malls sit on the line — Promenada out west on Calea Severinului, Electroputere at the Pasaj Electro end — so one tram connects the two.
