Legal Entities Information (Business Users)

Companies can request issue and loading/reloading of PVC Tursib cards for their employees through the portal.

Travel titles that can be loaded on Tursib cards for your employees through the portal:

7-day subscription internal / 1 transfer / 2 transfers / integrated
15-day integrated subscription
30-day subscription internal / 1 transfer / 2 transfers / integrated / Păltiniș

Attention!

For each commune/city, a separate order will be submitted, which will include the list of persons who will benefit from the travel title.

Portal access is done by clicking the “Load card” button on the main page of the website www.tursib.ro or by clicking here.

The portal allows both the submission of requests for issuance and loading of Tursib cards as well as subsequent reload requests.

If the issuance and loading request is made through the Tursib portal, the cards can be collected from the Tursib headquarters at Munchen Street, no. 1, Sibiu.

In order to use the portal, companies must have an account created. Legal entities in our database benefited from account creation upon the launch of the portal; however, companies that do not already have an account created in the portal must submit an account creation request to the e-mail address relatiicupublicul@tursib.ro/marketing@tursib.ro. The request must contain the following information: e-mail address (to be used later for account login), RO/CUI and company address. After transmitting the data to Tursib, you will receive an e-mail when the account has been created, and you must enter the previously submitted e-mail address and set an account password by clicking the “set/reset password” button in the portal.

Employee lists will be attached in the portal in CSV format. The format will be provided by Tursib and must be completed using that template to avoid any formatting errors. Thus, there will be 2 CSV files, one used for ISSUANCE and LOADING of cards and one used for RELOADING Tursib cards.

For the issuance and loading of cards, it is also necessary to attach the “Personal data processing note” in scanned format.

The personal data processing note can be downloaded here.

Please also note that the validity of Tursib subscriptions is 7/15 or 30 calendar days. Therefore, employee lists must be uploaded and submitted before the expiration of the 7/15/30 days in order to avoid any inconvenience.

Corporate Payment Methods:

  1. Companies with contract & payment terms can pay via bank transfer (OP) within agreed deadline.
  2. Others pay via OP or bank card.

Ensure bank transfer includes digital/physical bank signature and upload it in portal.

Invoices are downloaded directly from portal without Tursib staff involvement.

Corporate Order Statuses:

  • Initialization
  • Awaiting Payment (OP upload or card payment)
  • OP Verification
  • Verification (paid amount validation)
  • Rejected
  • Deleted
  • Completed (invoice issued; cards loaded)
  • Payment Term (for contract companies)

With this new procedure, submission via cash‑desk is no longer available.

Subscriptions purchased via portal are available only on PVC Tursib card, not in the SibiuBus app. Employees must validate card at boarding by tapping it on yellow validators.

For questions or issues, support is available Mon–Fri, 7:00–15:00 at 0269‑426‑100 or via email: relatiicupublicul@tursib.ro.
