Getting to the bus station
Autogara 1 is beside the train station: from the Old Town, RATBV bus 4 runs from Livada Poștei to Gara Brașov — see bus 4 details. For Autogara 2, use a taxi or app ride, or plan a bus on RATBV's site.
The operator's published route does not list a Râșnov stop, so for Bran + Râșnov in one day by public transport, see Brașov to Râșnov (RATBV bus 130), or drive.
