The public transportation network in the city of Brașov is one of the largest in Romania. In May 2012, it consists of a total of 47 bus and trolleybus routes summing almost 700 kilometres (435 miles), all operated by Regia Autonomă de Transport Brașov ("RAT Brașov" or "RATBv" for short, "Autonomous Transportation Board of Brașov").

Except for 'Brașov', the names used are intended to be the ones most common in their day.
