Passengers are reminded of the basic rules to follow when traveling by bus and trolleybus: wear protective masks, disinfect your hands every time you enter and exit public transportation at the middle door, keep your distance, and take a seat.

“Vilnius residents use public transport more actively, and we will continue to ensure maximum safety and smooth travel. We disinfect buses and trolleybuses after each trip, adjust schedules, launch more spacious and frequent vehicles, especially during peak hours.

We are returning bus route 89, which did not run during quarantine, and only electric buses are working, as well as bus 33 will return to Kalnėnai. We also use the control of public transport to maintain general order and security: the controllers check the tickets and also, if necessary, coordinate the passenger flows, “says Modesta Gusarovienė, the director of Sár” Járimo paslaugos “.

Window frames, all surfaces intended to be occupied by passengers are cleaned: handrails, handles, seat backs, as well as floors and surfaces are sprayed with disinfectant.
