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). For the uninitiated, recognising which is a private and which is a city bus isn’t easy. As a rule, city buses tend to be blue and yellow, but not always. Private buses are a little faster as they don’t have to pull in at every stop along the route. Tickets for private buses are only available on board, and are sold by a conductor who makes a tour of the vehicle every few stops. If riding on a city bus, single tickets need to be validated in the appropriate device. Buy a ticket from the driver if you don't already have one for 2.50Lt.

  Actually , if you travel on them , you will find that private buses are more expensive than city buses, which can be identified by "VilnausAP " them. Basic colour is blue/yellow, but there are variations ,such as the articulated 7000 class Volvos , which are silver.Try riding on them!
  
  Hi David, thanks for your comment. We're actually just udpating this information at the moment as the prices have just changed again. Actually, the prices are now the same for a ride on a private bus or on a city bus if you buy a ticket from a kiosk... ie. 1.80Lt. Ed.
