Public transport

Public transport
Vilnius’ public transport system is made up of city and private buses, minibuses and trolleybuses, with most routes running from 05:00 until around 23:00. Single tickets for city buses and trolleybuses can be purchased from any Lietuvos Spauda kiosk or direct from the driver for a little extra. A single ticket is valid for any one journey of any distance over any period of time on any singular vehicle. With the exception of a few new bus services, almost no public transport runs in Old Town. Travelling by public transport, especially during rush hour, is not for the faint hearted. Expect to be poked, squeezed and trod on. Pickpockets work several routes around the city.

Buses

Most buses in Vilnius are owned and operated by the city, with a few private buses offering a ride for the same price as a city bus if you bought your ticket from a kiosk (2Lt). Read_on (1 Comment)

Minibuses

The minibus, or maršrutinis taksi to give it its correct name (you may also hear one referred to as a Latvija), is a privately-owned phenomenon as favoured in many former Soviet republics. Read_on (No Comments)

Trolleybuses

Many of them done up like a French tart’s boudoir, Vilnius’ upside-down railway keeps a large part of the city’s population on the move. Read_on (1 Comment)
