    Could it possibly be, as I experienced last year myself and Neil
    posted earlier, that the situation as it is, is the proposed
    service? Airport - Bus - Station Because, when looking at google
    maps, there's no rail connection running anywhere towards the
    airport. Henri Coanda, just passing abt. 1km away from the southwest
    to the northeast.

    It's a gruesomely slow ride.

    Last year (2018) I was in Bucharest.
    There still is no direct train service to the international airport.
    There is a train station about two kilometres from the airport and I've
    read that mini shuttle busses drive from the airport to this train
    station. Travel time is 50 minutes to Gara de Nord, so you also can take
    the direct bus 780.
    They have plans for a metro line, but this metro is not yet ready.
    Take a bus from Gara de Nord to the airport (bus 780), or from the
    centre to the airport (bus 783).

    And take extra time!!!
    When we were travelling from Gara de Nord to the airport the scheduled
    bus did not go. So we had to wait for the next bus which was on Sunday
    one hour later. We scheduled enough extra time, so we had no problem,
    but if you don't have extra time ......

    And because of the busy traffic in Bucharest the bus from the airport to
    the station took more then an hour, so we had only two minutes to catch
    our train to Brasov.......
    We succeeded !!
    Just because we already bought our train tickets at the airport......


    Good travel!

    We pre-booked an airport pick-up in the end. Simple, quick, and in the
    grand scheme of things not too expensive. At least it was in 2012...
