How to get from Bender to Chisinau by bus

Reposted: October 13, 2024 | Tagged: Border Crossings, Transnistria​

4 days before, I travelled from Chisinau to Tiraspol by bus. This post details How to get from Bender to back to Chisinau by bus or rather marshrutka, crossing from Transnistria to Moldova.

Bender is the second largest city in Transnistria. And I backpacked it.

I had taken Trolleybus #19 from Tiraspol to Bender. Looked around. Stayed the night, at the Apartment VIP. Looked around some more and continued my journey back to Chisinau the next day.

You can get marshrutkas like these from the main bus station in Bender, the Autogara Bender:
Bender to Moldova marshrutka
Bender to Chişinău ticket. 36.75Rub, which you buy at the little Kacca. And is printed with the licence plate number of your marshrutka:

I love this photo. Border post/security checkpoint between Transnistria and Moldova:

Google Maps shows the checkpoint between Transnistria and Moldova, which is just outside of Bender:
The Transnistria migration card makes a great souvenir:

Then I had time for some more backpacking in Chisinau.
