There will be a regular public cross-border bus line between Ruse and Giurgiu after 2 January 2007, according to the mayor of Ruse Bozhidar Yotov, as quoted here (in Bulgarian). The price of a ticket will equal the price of a town bus line ticket.
Even though I cross my fingers for that, me thinks - too good to be true. Currently a car that passes the border has to pay approximately 25 EUR in taxes and while some of them may fall out after 2007, the bridge tax, for example, can be still justified. I doubt that certain government agencies and groups with vested interests will allow the incomes from all the taxes to vanish just like that.

A group of artists from Romanian crossed the bridge between Giurgiu and Rousse and they collected all the bills they had to pay!
all together 25€ one way!
Yes, actually this is what people are paying now, but this article says that after 2007 crossing the bridge will be much easier. Actually, as easy (and cheap) as getting on the city bus, but it is misleading cause it actually is going to happen only on the 2 January, not from then on.
