Baltic train operators have launched a cheaper joint ticket for the new Tallinn-Vilnius route and now it will no longer be necessary to change trains in Riga.
A PESA 730 ML train leased from Lithuanian passenger train operator LTG Link will be operated from the Estonian border Valga to Vilnius.
There will no longer be a need to change trains in the Latvian capital, although it will still be necessary to change trains at Valga.
The PESA 730 ML train is more comfortable and has catering facilities, Elron says.
Additionally, it will be possible to buy a joint direct ticket for EUR 39 across all three countries.
At the moment buying each ticket separately – the only option when the connection was launched last month – costs EUR 53.50.
Tickets covering two or one country must be purchased separately from each passenger train operator.
At the moment, you can only buy the joint ticket from Lithuania’s LTG Link website. Elron said the option would soon be added to it’s own website. (ERR)
