Dărăști-Ilfov is a commune in the south of Ilfov County, Muntenia, Romania, 20 km (12 mi) from the national capital, Bucharest.

The commune, with a population of 2,865 people as of 2021, is mainly inhabited by low-income families, many of which commute to Bucharest for work but live in the locality due to cheaper housing.

In October 2005, this led to a number of revolts by the residents of the Dărăști, many of which refused to pay the fare, physically-abused drivers and controllers, and damaged the buses, causing losses of 200,000 lei to Altassib.

On October 10, 2005, Gândul reported that the threats and assault against Atlassib employees increased, prompted by a price rise of more than 30% that Altassib maintains was only caused by a need to recover losses on the route.

This had led many to believe that the bus service may soon by totally suspended, leaving the locality without any public transport links with Bucharest and further exacerbating Dărăști's social problems.
