Vilnius is taking additional measures to reduce the mobility of people in the city: public transport will work in such a way that it only guarantees the necessary movement. Some routes will stop, and buses and trolleybuses will circulate less frequently, maintaining a frequency that does not run half empty or empty. In this way, the city sends a clear message to the residents of Vilnius: welcome holidays in your home, move away from them when required, refuse all unnecessary travel.

“In such circumstances, it is important to limit travel not only between cities, but also within them. With a 70% drop in passenger flows, we are radically redesigning all public transport starting this week: the priority of the Comfort is further modified by promoting safety. This means that Vilnius residents will still be able to go to places where they are urgent, such as medical institutions or work. However, any departure from home without an urgent need represents a risk , so we strongly recommend that you stay in a safe environment. Public transport is, in a certain sense, supportive and, therefore, less frequent. Of course, on those routes that are left behind, we will try to maintain safety, especially on peak hours, so that passengers can keep their distance. Basically, it is necessary to plan all the movement in an even more responsible way, look at the schedules in advance action ”, says Modesta Gusarovienė, director of“ Communications Services ”.

Protective masks should be worn at stops, buses, and trolleys to cover the nose and mouth, and a safe distance should be maintained. Drivers not wearing masks are not allowed to enter or get off. Also, passengers who do not agree to wearing masks, public transport controllers, drivers, as well as other passengers, can always inform the police.

Hands need to be disinfected inside and outside the vehicle. If the seats are occupied, it is forbidden to climb; wait for another bus or trolley, plan trips in advance.
