Following a ban on cars registered in Belarus entering Lithuania, the number of passenger buses running between the two countries should also decrease, according to Lithuanian Interior Minister Agne Bilotaite.
Every day, dozens of passenger buses run between Lithuania and Belarus. Passengers waiting for a bus to Minsk at the Vilnius bus station say the journey is difficult and long, but they need to go to their relatives or work.
My parents live in Belarus. We try to visit them every two months. When it will no longer be possible to drive, more people will take buses. It will be harder because it is already difficult,
According to the bus driver to Minsk, Bidniev Navoichik, all 49 seats are often full, and most of the passengers are Belarusians.
Most Belarusians go to work and home. Border guards work very well on both sides. Every hour 2-3 buses arrive. You have to wait 7-12 hours at the border because they have a lot of work, and they can serve 50 people in 35-40 minutes,
Recall
Lithuania has banned cars with Belarusian license plates from entering the country since July 18, with the exception of diplomatic vehicles and personal use until August 16, 2024.
