LAUNCH OF KYIV-MINSK-VILNIUS-RIGA TRAIN SUCCESSFUL, ROUTE COULD BE EXPANDED TO TALLINN

JSC EVR (Estonian railways) is interested in expanding the route of the Kyiv-Minsk-Vilnius-Riga train to Tallinn, and the negotiations on the issue are scheduled for December, Ukrzaliznytsia reported on Monday. “Today the train is running at about zero cost effectiveness. However, given the “low season” and only the recent launch, we can consider the launch of this train successful,” Ukrzaliznytsia said.
According to the company, after eight trips the train carried 2,100 passengers, of which 1,000 – to/from Lithuania and 950 – to/from Latvia.
As reported, the Kyiv-Minsk-Vilnius-Riga train with shuttling once a week was launched on September 28 of this year from Kyiv.
