Riga International Coach Terminal sees number of passengers drop 7.6%
Meanwhile, the number of inbound buses rose by 0.6% to
25,105 at the terminal in January-February.
Earlier, the coach terminal’s logistics head Elita Lukjanovica was rather cautious
in her forecasts about this year’s passenger numbers, but she voiced hope that
the drop would be reduced in comparison with last year when passenger numbers
fell 6%.
The coach terminal’s representative said that the number of
inbound buses might continue to grow also this year as international bus
traffic has been ensuring the growth in recent years. The number of buses
serving domestic routes has remained largely unchanged.
As reported, in 2016, Riga
International Coach Terminal served 1,745,769 passengers, down 6 % from
2015, and handled 156,469 inbound buses, up 3.1% y-o-y.
Riga International
Coach Terminal is indirectly owned by the Riga local authority.
