On the trains to Klaipėda, passengers will sit closer, but they will pay less for it: from mid-July, it will be possible to travel not 4 people per compartment, but 6. They will travel in third class.
How everything will look, I will tell you in more detail "LTG LinkBusiness development and marketing manager Modesta Gusarovienė.
- Why does the third class appear in trains?
- We monitor the mood of our passengers every day and every passenger receives a survey after each trip, in which they have to answer what their experience was when traveling by train. Some are very happy, others make various offers. One of them was to make tickets cheaper. We were thinking about how to make those tickets cheaper so that it would be good for everyone. Class 3 came about because we have coupe type coaches that have 6 seats when they were now only selling 4 seats to make people sit more comfortably. Maybe the quality will be a little worse, but a person will have the opportunity to travel practically twice as cheap - for 13,60 euros without any benefits. If a person has a discount, then a certain discount will be adjusted from that amount.
- Are many 3rd class tickets bought?
- They pick up little by little, but the big purchases start 2-3 days before the trip. Since these trips will start from July 15th, we still have some time.
- How many more passengers will be able to go to Klaipėda?
– In one train, a coupe of wagons will be towed 1-2 at a time. One carriage will accommodate plus 18 passengers.
- Will it be possible to carry the same amount of luggage, or maybe less?
- Baggage up to 35 kg is transported free of charge. It can be either under the seat or in a place that is intended to be placed.
– How popular is Vilnius as a destination in general–Klaipeda?
– Vilnius–Klaipėda is our flagship, as we say. It is the second most popular route after the Vinius–Kaunas route.
