"Establishing foothold in Lithuania is an important step for us in becoming the biggest player in the field in the Nordic and the Baltic countries," Ridango manager Erki Lipre said in a press release.

Lithuania is the fourth market for Ridango. Previously the company has supplied technology and software to Estonia, Sweden and Greenland.

"Developing public transport is a priority in all major cities. Our technology makes the ride experience better for passengers and provides the companies organizing public transport with valuable information for organizing routes and departures. There is very big interest in the solutions provided by Ridango, and definitely we will be speaking about more new projects shortly," Ridango Marketing Director Argo Verk said.

Under the contract signed with the Lithuanian party, Ridango technology will be used in 213 public transport vehicles in Klaipeda and a total of 400 validators will be installed in the vehicles. In addition to the supply of equipment, the agreement covers the provision of a central system and the service to operate the system. The system is planned to be launched in mid-2018.

Ridango AS is an Estonian technology company established in 2009 that develops public transport ticketing and real-time systems.
