LTG Link, the passenger transport arm of Lietuvos Geležinkeliai (Lithuanian Railways, LTG), has started selling train tickets via Google Maps, the company said on Wednesday.
LTG Link has signed a partnership agreement with Distribution Technologies, a German company that connects carriers around the world.
The agreement will also provide access to more than 150 operators and sales platforms worldwide, and preparations are underway to launch the sale of tickets via other popular systems, such as Omio, The Trainline, Kiwi, Booking.com, Trip.com, and Kayak.
LTG Group CEO Egidijus Lazauskas says travellers from all over the world will be able to buy train tickets in advance via platforms that are convenient for them.
“Popular platforms will be another attractive tool for our train travellers. We will also further encourage foreign visitors to choose a convenient and sustainable option to reach Lithuania and travel within our country,” Lazauskas said.
According to LTG Link, around 10 percent of train tickets were purchased by foreigners in 2023. The company carried around 5 million passengers last year, up 6.4 percent from 2022.
