Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai (Lithuanian Railways) saw its revenue for January through February rose by 14.2% y-o-y to 81.9 mln euros, based on preliminary figures, informed LETA/BNS.
Passenger numbers jumped by 24% to 850,200 and freight traffic grew by 4% to 9 mln tons.
The growth in freight volumes was mostly due to increased shipments of fertilizers, building materials, food products and solid fuels, the state railway operator said in a press release.
Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai CEO Mantas Bartuska attributed the growth in passenger traffic to updated train schedules.
In February, containerized freight shipments surged by 54% amid a continued rapid growth in computer, home appliance and other equipment shipments from China.
Belarusian freight volumes rose by 10% last month.
