    Short explainer:

    • TPBI (en: Intercommunity Development Association for Public Transport Bucharest - Ilfov) is basically a local association that is responsible for the development of public transit in Bucharest and the Ilfov county that surrounds it. By itself is not dealing with the public transit, but it is more of a framework for their members to organize it under it (STB for Bucharest, STV for Voluntari, SCTM Ecotrans for Chitila and Mogoșoaia and Regioserv Transport for Buftea); Metrorex, the operator of the metro (subway/underground/whatever you want to call it) network, is under the direct authority of the ministry of transport for some reason, although there is already a price integration between TPBI (mostly STB) and Metrorex in place. The tram network is fully owned and operated by STB.
    • SEAP (The Electronic System for Public Acquisitions) is a centralized, state-owned, online platform, where public institutions announce their availibility for various tenders.
