Bus services between Minsk and Vilnius significantly reduced by major transportation company

In a significant development, the online service Infobus reports that Eurolines has suspended the performance of most routes between Minsk and Vilnius since August 11. This suspension comes as a result of breaches of existing limits on the number of buses allowed to cross the border, as noted by the Lithuanian Transport Ministry.

The suspension has led to the cancellation of 10 bus connections, leaving only three trips per day available. The affected routes include [insert list of affected routes, if provided in the text]. Eurolines' Lithuanian branch has reduced the number of bus routes on the Vilnius - Minsk and Minsk - Vilnius routes.

For those still planning to travel, Eurolines still operates limited services. Departures from Vilnius are scheduled at 06:40, 09:00, and 13:00, while departures from Minsk are at 14:20, 16:00, and 20:00. Detailed timetables and ticket availability for these remaining routes can be found on platforms such as INFOBUS.

Passengers are advised to check directly with ticket booking sites or operators for the precise current schedule and availability, as the situation is evolving due to the imposed restrictions. Users of the Eurolines service have started receiving notifications about the cancellation of some routes between Lithuanian and Belarusian capitals.

It is important to note that the suspension of Eurolines routes between Minsk and Vilnius may impact travel between Lithuania and Belarus. Infobus, an online service for searching and buying Eurolines tickets, lists various Minsk–Vilnius bus options including those of Eurolines Business Class TOKS, although services have been curtailed compared to normal levels.

Eurolines is actively working on resolving the issue of resuming the cancelled routes. The cancellation of Eurolines routes between Lithuanian and Belarusian capitals is expected to continue at least until the end of the current week.
