Minibuses
General info.
In Romania, they are called "maxi-taxi", minibuses supplied the need of affordable public transportation at a time when some local administrations dismantled the community-owned systems of buses and or trolley cars. In Bucharest, a few lines went inside the main city in the last years of communism, their line numbers starting with 500, operated by RATB ancestor, ITB. In the 1990s, the lines were ceded to private companies. The boom came in 2003 when the city-owned RATB lost the right to maintain suburban commuter buses which linked main city with the villages around it, and the minibuses replaced the buses on popular suburban lines, such as the ones to Afumaţi or Măgurele.
As of 2006, RATB resumed sub-urban operations maxi-taxi. Furthermore, services are no longer allowed to enter the city center, and, only 11 maxi-taxi lines are allowed to both start and terminate within Bucharest's city limits:[5]:
