Lux Express boasts 23% growth of passengers in Baltics in H1
"The six-month results of Lux
Express reveal a positive trend - a growing number of Latvians choose to
travel to the Baltic capitals by bus," said Krisjanis Rekis, a board member of Lux Express.
He said the number of Latvian travelers this year had increased by 25%
compared to the first half of last year with growth recorded on the coach
routes to both Tallinn (+25%) and Vilnius (+26%).
Lux Express is increasing the number of bus runs on Riga-Tallinn and Riga-Vilnius
routes to 13 runs a day from 11 runs currently. "With the renewal of its
bus fleet, Lux Express aims to
increase the frequency of runs so that in 2018 buses will be departing from
Riga to Tallinn and Vilnius every hour," Rekis said.
This year Lux Express invested
around EUR 3 million in six new business class coaches that were put on the
Riga-Tallinn route on June 12.
Lux Express Group is an international coach operator offering its services in Estonia,
Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Finland, Belarus and Russia.
