Bucharest Metro to Allow Bikes and Scooters on Weekdays in Pilot Program

Metrorex is introducing a pilot project to allow cyclists and scooter users access to the Bucharest metro network on weekdays. The initiative, running from July 15 to September 15, 2026, aims to promote sustainable urban mobility.

During the trial period, users with bicycles or scooters can access the metro between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays. This is in addition to the existing regulations that permit access from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM and permanently on weekends and public holidays.

Access is restricted to the designated area in the first car of the train, behind the driver's cabin. Users must enter through the first door and position their bikes or scooters to ensure the safety and comfort of other passengers. The project explicitly prohibits bicycles used for deliveries or cargo transport, as well as those equipped with bulky accessories like boxes or trailers.

Metrorex stated that the pilot project encourages the use of the metro as an environmentally friendly transport option and cycling as part of modern, sustainable urban mobility. The company believes that choosing the metro for daily commutes helps reduce traffic and pollution while offering a fast, safe, and efficient transport solution.
