BC, Riga, 24.03.2017.Print version
During the first two months of this year Riga International Coach Terminal saw the number of passengers drop 7.6% from the same period a year ago to 232,421 people, LETA was told at the terminal.

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.
