If we look at the information of Latvian and Lithuanian train operators, there are also places for bicycles on the Valga-Riga and Riga-Vilnius journeys. On the Latvian side, the Valga-Riga section is served by the train company Vivi, and in Lithuania, the Riga-Vilnius section is served by LTG Link. Both companies require passengers with bicycles to purchase a luggage ticket. A bicycle ticket for the Valga-Riga route costs €2.10 and for the Riga-Vilnius route €10.
Ticket sales and joint tickets
Currently, tickets can be purchased in different ticket sales environments in three other countries, but a joint ticket has not yet been created.
We are confident that ticket sales will become easier and more unified in the near future.
The table shows the prices of standard class/second class tickets (for trips crossing national borders, the prices of different operators are summed up). Information on first class ticket prices and valid discounts can be found on the websites of Elroni, Vivi and LTG Link.
