The train ride between Romanian capital city Bucharest and the seaside city of Constanta would take two and a half hours for trains which will travel on the route without making any stops, after works on the tracks have been finalized, according to the country's Railways Company CFR. The company has revamped 174 kilometers of railway track and 102 bridges.

Four rapid trains will travel this distance every day without making any stops, taking travelers to the seaside in two hours and a half. The trains which will make stops on their way will get to Constanta in up to three hours.

Last year, the train ride from Bucharest to Constanta took four hours during the summer. With modernization works still pending in some areas, CFR expects the ride to reach two hours and a quarter after everything will be finalized. There are ten train rides a day between Bucharest and Constanta. Ticket prices vary between RON 42 and RON 52.
