At the end of the competition, it became clear that the market could perform these services more efficiently, thus saving the LTG Group around 3 million. annual euros. Earlier this year, we also offered the market to compete in a physical security competition, ”said Tomas Digaitis, Head of Public Relations at Lietuvos Geležinkeliai, in a comment to BNS.
