The Regia Autonomă de Transport Public (RATP) Iași (English: The Autonomous Public Transport Operator of Iași) is the major transit operator responsible for public transportation in Iași, Romania.

History

Established on 19 March 1898, RATP operates an extensive network using metre gauge trams (electric trams began operating in 1900) and buses. Trolley buses were used on a number of routes starting in 1985, but all trolley bus routes were converted to bus operation by 2005.

Routes

RATP operates 8 tram routes on 82.6 kilometres (51.3 mi), and 11 bus routes on 98.6 kilometres (61.3 mi) throughout Iași. In 2014, the RATP carried 50,358,000 passengers, an average of 140,000 passengers per day.[1]

Starting 2006, some of bus routes have been operated under contract by Unistil, a private company.
