The sudden cessation of Regiotrans services, with virtually no notice, took many travellers by surprise; some passengers being stranded in fields.
Services restarted on certain routes on 1 April 2015, the company apparently having obtained the safety certificates following a fast track procedure ("în regim de urgență").
Further re-openings were effected in mid/late April 2015 (for example Ineu–Cermei), several routes, however, remain closed, following changes in the subsidy allocations and calculation' regulations, that occurred in March 2015.
Not the least problem faced by its major shareholders and directors was that a majority shareholder and joint senior executive, Costel Comana, somehow managed, after taking drugs, to commit suicide by hanging himself with his shoelaces ("cu șireturile de la pantofi") in a toilet aboard an air flight between Colombia and Costa Rica.
Comana had fled Romania for Brazil after the arrest of his co-chief executive (and joint owner of Regioalatori), Iorgu Ganea.
