The largest increase was registered on the Vilnius-Trakai route where the number of passengers doubled to 28,000 people. 154,000 people were taken from Vilnius and Kaunas and back, which is 43% more than last year. Around 15,000 people travelled by rail on the weekend of Pope Francis' visit to Lithuania.
Lietuvos Gelezinkeliai plans to offer new routes in December, Linas Bauzys, head of the company's Passenger Transportation Directorate, said.
