Advantages
ModernCleanComfortable seatsEntertainment programmePunctualDisadvantages
NothingI recently made the bus journey from Riga to Vilnius with "Ecolines" (Bus:T372) and was extremely satisfied! The journey took about 4 hours and 15 minutes.
The bus was modern and very clean, which immediately left a positive impression. The seats were not only comfortable, but also adjustable so that I could adjust my position during the journey. The legroom was generous, which is particularly pleasant on longer journeys.
Another highlight was the entertainment on offer. There was a screen showing films and series, which made the time fly by. The wifi was also fast and reliable, which allowed me to work while travelling.
The staff were friendly and took good care of the passengers. There was also a short break at a service station where you could stretch your legs and eat something.
Overall, the journey from Riga to Vilnius with "Ecolines" was an excellent experience that I can recommend to anyone!
