The Bucharest–Ilfov Intercommunity Development Association for Public Transport (TPBI) was established in late 2017 as a metropolitan authority comprising all 42 local public administrations in the Bucharest–Ilfov region. Mandated under EC Regulation 1370/2007, TPBI is responsible for the strategic planning, organization, regulation, monitoring, and management of all public surface transport—encompassing 193 tram, trolleybus, and bus lines—across a territory of 1,821 km², serving over 2.2 million residents. While rail transit (including the metro) remains under the Ministry of Transport, TPBI leads initiatives such as the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan update, the rollout of metropolitan train services, Intelligent Transportation Systems for real-time passenger information, and the Bucharest Traffic Management System.
