“There is no shortage of challenges for the coronavirus, but we know we will get through this stage, so we need to look ahead and plan for the future. One of them is updating the annual train schedules. We have refined them according to the wishes of our clients, carefully analyzing the flow of travelers and modeling future forecasts.
We understand that a pandemic changes daily habits, but we believe that the virus will be overcome and people will go back to traveling to work, to the beach or to unknown places in Lithuania. We strive to make these trips the most convenient and environmentally friendly way: by train, ”says Linas Baužys, Director of LTG Link.
According to L. Baužis, the most notable news for passengers is the return route Vilnius – Šiauliai – Vilnius – trains will run on it on Fridays – Sundays – and, once the road repairs are completed, accelerated trips on the route Vilnius – Kaunas – Vilnius.
“The train is the most environmentally friendly vehicle and the electrified Vilnius-Kaunas section is already the greenest of the greens: all our electric trains use 100 percent electricity. produced from renewable sources. We plan that in 2024, after electrifying the country’s main railway artery Vilnius – Klaipėda, which will run new electric trains, the amount of carbon dioxide entering the environment per year will decrease by about 7,000 tons. But already, after trying train travel, everyone can be heroes of a cleaner environment ”, says L. Baužys
