Lithuania maintains bus service with Russia and Belarus
The Lithuanian Ministry of Transport has officially stated that it does not plan to impose a ban on passenger bus services to Russia and Belarus in the near future. This information was provided in response to questions regarding potential border restrictions.
Previously, neighboring Latvia decided to terminate bus services with Russian and Belarusian cities due to security concerns. Consequently, many passengers feared that Lithuania would follow its neighbor's example and also close its borders to international routes.
However, Lithuanian authorities have decided not to follow the Latvian scenario. At the moment, buses continue to operate between the countries according to their regular schedules, and border crossing rules remain the same for citizens of all states.
Experts note that bus transportation remains an important mode of travel for many people visiting relatives or attending to personal matters. The stability of this route allows passengers to plan their trips without additional changes.
Thus, as of today, the situation at the Lithuanian border remains calm. Passengers are advised to monitor current news on the official websites of transport companies before purchasing tickets.
