📋 Tender Overview
In 2025, a record number of passengers - 21.3 million - used the services of train passenger carrier Vivi. This is almost 1.9 million or 10% more than in 2024, when less than 19.5 million were transported. At the same time, train accuracy - an indicator that reflects the execution of journeys according to the timetable - reached 98.4% last year, maintaining Vivis position among the most accurate passenger train carriers in Europe, despite the extensive repairs of the electrified network of VAS Latvijas dzelzcels on the Tukum and Jelgava lines. Last year, the number of passengers increased on all electrified railway lines where the new Vivi electric trains run. The fastest increase in passengers compared to 2024 was in the direction of Skulte, where it increased by 14%, followed by the direction of Jelgava with 11% and the direction of Aizkraukle with 10%. In 2025, the Tukuma line maintained its leading position with the largest number of transported passengers, which exceeded 7.5 million. Last year, several non-electrified railway lines also showed an upward trend in the flow of passengers - in the direction of Sigulda, the number of passengers increased by 13%, and in the direction of Daugavpils - by 8%. At the same time, the number of passengers on the Lugazi-Valga route has more than doubled, confirming the growing public interest in convenient and affordable international train traffic in the Baltic States. More than 14,000 tickets have been sold since July, when the Riga single ticket was introduced. It allows you to save one euro on each trip, if you use both the train passenger carrier Vivi within the A zone and the transport of Rigas satiksme. Almost half of these tickets were bought by passengers on the Riga-Tukums route, 24% of the tickets were sold on the Riga-Skulte route, 15% on the Riga-Jelgava route and 12% on the Riga-Aizkraukle route. Last year, extensive modernization of the passenger transport infrastructure was started - VAS Latvijas dzelzcels is rebuilding passenger platforms, ensuring more convenient and safer access to trains, and is also carrying out work on the modernization of the electrified train network on several lines. Vivi invites passengers to regularly follow the changes in the timetable, which are introduced due to various repairs.
