By June 1, the National Agency for Road Transport (ANTA) will approve tariff components for passenger road transport in regional and interregional traffic
On March 1, a new methodology for calculating tariffs for passenger transport by road in regional and interregional traffic, approved by the government in the fall of 2025, came into force in Moldova. The new methodology introduces clear rules for calculating, approving, and verifying tariffs. They are set depending on the type of transport unit, distance traveled, passenger traffic, and other characteristics of each route. Fares will include only the actual and necessary costs of providing the service—direct and indirect expenses incurred by operators—as well as a development component (profitability). However, the new tariffs did not come into effect with the introduction of the methodology: ANTA specialists are currently collecting data to determine the value of the tariff components. The analysis is based on official statistics, information from government information systems, and reports submitted by transport operators on costs, consumption, vehicle capacity, and occupancy rates for the previous period. In the near future, in accordance with the law on transparency of the decision-making process, public consultations will be held with transport associations, as well as with local and regional authorities. ANTA must approve the values of tariff components for regular transport services by June 1. After that, local public authorities will determine the tariff adjustment coefficient for regional transport. ANTA specifies that the process will be transparent and the public will be kept informed about developments in the establishment of new tariffs. // 04.03.2026 — InfoMarket
