Tirana

There are several bus stations in Tirana, 1 train station and numerous furgon stations all over the city. Due to the web of private transit ownership catching a furgon or bus out of Tirana can be confusing at best. Additionally, the prices and times might change at anytime. Therefore, this list is only meant to help and to the best of our ability at the time of publish. We apologize for an incorrect information and welcome comments that can amend and update the information.

Secondly, in Tirana furgons going to certain geographical regions (north/ south) leave from similar areas so the information is organized according to geographical regions. In general Furgons will leave from sun up to sun down (there are exceptions) but do not have set departure times. They leave when they are full (capacity ranges from 8-14 people) and it is not unusual to be given a seat on a plastic stool if you are the last one on the furgon.  Therefore, if you want to minimize your waiting time and possible grab a seat, it is advisable to leave in the morning when most people are traveling.
