TIDE project

TIDE- ‘Transport Innovation Deployment for Europe’ is a project funded by European Commision,

which focuses upon 15 innovative measures in 5 thematic clusters: financing models and pricing

measures, non-motorised transport, network and traffic management to support traveller

information, electric vehicles and public transport organisation.

Vilnius has selected the fifth thematic cluster- PT organisation.

The time frame of the project is April 2013- October 2015.

Vilnius is a Champion City in the project, which means that the city receives funding and assitance

from the partners to implement the selected measure, which is a creation of metropolitan transport

authority in the region.

This seminar is a part of the project and it aims to bring together all the stakeholders, as well as

experts in order to prepare a clear implementation scenario for such change.


The main goal

Integrated management

of public transport

Tendering and

contracting

Sustainable financing of

public transport

≈30 km

≈50 km


Current situation organizing PT

ME SUSISIEKIMO PASLAUGOS (MESP) is the PT authority in

Vilnius city.

VILNIUS CITY

All types of in Vilnius city are integrated in single network, ticketing, planning, customer

information system.

580 000 PT trips per day.

DISTRICT

Vilnius and Trakai district municipalities itself is responsible for organising PT. 86

% of ruotes extend to the Vilnius City area.

PT routes that go beyond the city’s border are not coordinated between the two parties, they are rather introduced

and maintained independently.

200 000 trips from outside the city (including private transport).


PT routes in Vilnius region

District PT network:

Number of lines 82 (74)

Lenght of lines in Vilnius city

teritory – 610 km

Run per day in Vilnius city teritory

– 9300km

City PT network:

Number of lines 97 (14)

Lenght of lines in Vilnius district

teritory– 83 km

Run per day in Vilnius district

teritory – 2300 km


Current problems

• Duplication of routes causes inefficiencies.

• Not coordinated PT scheduling.

• Inability to respond to changing passenger needs in a timely manner due to a lengthy process of existing routes coordination and new routes implementation

Planning

• Different ticketing systems.

• Expensive to use PT from district to Vilnius. Ticketing

• No common passenger information system.

• Limited availability of informatiom. Information

• PT quality level is too low to atrract new passengers. Quality

• No proper cooperation between the parties. (Municipalities, operators)

• No clear development strategy.

Development

• Recovery of expenses for cross-border routes (subsidies and compensations)

Collaboration

x Cooperation agreement on the organization of public transport services in the region;

x To identify common conditions: routes and schedules, fares, ticket system, tendering operators, financing schemes.
