Albertas Kazlauskas, the guide who created the route, reminds us that the history of Vilnius buses began in 1909. - it was a bus launched by a private entrepreneur from the Cathedral Square to Verkii. Later, as technology improved and political systems changed, public transport went through various ups and downs. However, the number of buses in the city was constantly increasing, and as the routes were extended, the horizons of the city and the suburbs were opening up to travelers.
"Route no. 10 - is not the oldest, longest or any other "-most", but it runs through very different parts of the city - it is the blocky Fabijoniškės, and the experimental Baltupiai, and Kalvarijui Street, nicknamed by pilgrims, and the heart of the old city, and the romantic Markučiai. Therefore, the trip by "ten" fully reveals the colorful picture of Vilnius", says A. Kazlauskas.
