📋 Tender Overview
On December 12, the number of Vivi passengers who traveled by train this year has reached 20 million. The number of passengers has increased by 10%, comparing the results of this years 11 months with the corresponding period of last year. Passengers appreciate the new electric trains, which are comfortable, safe and modern, and the demand continues to grow. We are the largest train passenger carrier in the Baltics, and despite extensive railway infrastructure repairs, this year we are also among the most punctual carriers in Europe, ensuring that 98% of train journeys are made on time. Today we symbolically celebrated it together with passengers, surprising five people who found a gift on the morning flight - a Vivi electric train model and year subscription. Raitis Nespors, chairman of Vivis board, says. The results of this years 11 months show that almost 90% of passengers choose the new electric trains. A particularly rapid increase in the number of passengers in all four electric train lines was observed in the first quarter of the year. The number of passengers increased most rapidly on the Riga-Skulte route, where this year it is 11% higher than last year in this period. At the same time, the most popular route throughout the year has always been Riga-Tukums II, where the largest number of passengers was in July, when it exceeded 820 thousand passengers. The most popular stops this year are Riga Central Station, Ogre, Jelgava, Imanta, Majori and Sloka. At the same time, an increase in passengers can also be observed on two non-electrified railway lines - in the direction of Valmiera and Daugavpils. In the direction of Valmiera, the number of passengers has increased by 14% in 11 months, while in the direction of Daugavpils there is an 8% growth. Passengers also appreciate and actively use the cross-border flights introduced at the beginning of the year on the route Vilnius-Riga-Tallinn. The number of passengers on the Lugazi-Valga route has more than doubled, which provides an opportunity to change trains and continue to Tallinn. Moreover, this trend has remained constant since spring of this year, which shows the demand for convenient cross-border train traffic in the Baltic States. Modernization of the passenger transportation infrastructure is currently underway - VAS Latvijas dzelzcels is rebuilding passenger platforms and renewing the contact network on the Jelgava and Tukum lines, ensuring more convenient and safer access to trains. Vivi invites passengers to regularly follow the changes in the timetable, which are introduced due to various repairs.
