Vilnius takes action: public transport only for necessary movement

“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 exit from the house without an urgent need represents a risk, so we strongly recommend that you remain in a safe environment. Public transport is, in a sense, supportive and, therefore, less frequent. Of course, on those routes that are left behind, we will try to maintain security, especially during peak hours, so that passengers can keep their distance.

Basically, it is necessary to plan the whole movement in an even more responsible way, to look at the schedules in advance, ”says Modesta Gusarovien directo, 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. To plan and choose less crowded routes, travel times are convenient here: https://bit.ly/planuokitesVTkeliones
