Today will be the shortest day of the year, with only 23 hours. Moldova moved to summer time, causing 3 AM to be moved to 4 AM.

For already 5 years now, Ion Graur took care of the clock located in the Triumphal arch. Last evening, he programmed the mechanism at around 21:00, as he lives outside the city.

Because of the time change, those who planned to travel had to arrive at the railway station earlier, to not miss their train.

"I think I barely made it in time, if I did not miss it already."

"I planned ahead of time, brought my friend to the railway station."

"The hour on my phone changed automatically, but the news also mentioned it."

Trolleybuses from the Capital begun running at 5 in the morning, according to their timetable.

"I did not even feel the hour change. My body is already used to it."

The change of hour can cause a negative reaction to some people.

"I had to wake up a bit earlier, was used to the winter time."

"It did not affect me much, after so many years you get used to it."

"I wish the hour would not change. It is hard for the children to wake up earlier and they do not see the point in changing the hour."

"I like it, the earlier the better."

Moldova moved to summer time for the first time in 1979. It is aimed to use to the fullness the lengthening of the day and reduce energy consumption.
