{{hitchbase_city|126}}[[trash:Vilnius]] [[Category:Lithuania]][[Category:E85]][[Category:E28]][[Category:E272]] [[nomad:Vilnius]] ==Public transport==
Find [http://www.marsrutai.lt/vilnius/#Routes/ routes at marsrutai.lt] or alternatively, [http://www.stops.lt/vilnius/ this is also a great journey planner] and includes timetables for all the public transport in Vilnius, with the added advantage of being translated into 16 languages.
You can find public transport prices [http://www.vilniustransport.lt/en/pages/prices here], but a quick summary, correct as at 2015-09-08:
* '''Adults:''' single-ticket only on-board EUR 1.00. If you plan to stay longer it is good idea to buy E-ticket card (EUR 1.50) and top-it-up with money or tickets. E-ticket prices: 30min - EUR 0.64, 60min - EUR 0.93. In ticket validity time you can change as much vehicles as needed.
* '''Students''': get a 50% discount. You must have a valid student or school ID. ISIC must be used with your personal ID or passport.
<strike>There are also private buses, in which you can't use tickets, bought from press shops. But prices are the same. In Vilnius, we also have Minibuses. Price 3.50. No discounts. [http://www.marsrutai.lt/vilnius/en/#Routes/VilniusMikroDBMiniBus Routes.]</strike><br>
As of 2013-07-01 there are no private companies on public transportation system. Also there are no single tickets to buy from selling places. Single ticket can be bought only on-board.
As of the end of 2013 private carriers is being integrated into public transport system and you can use E-ticket as well.
=== Freeriding === Freeriding: Every bus has a machine to punch holes into the ticket which are shaped in a certain pattern (saying - there's no time limit on the tickets). People often leave there used tickets on the seat or drop it on the floor, so just take one and be happy. Alternatively always have a fresh ticket with you and punch it as soon as you see the controllers from the distance (they have a separate minibus and are usually 5 or more in shiny uniforms - easy to spot) - that said, it rarely happens that there are single controllers or conductors teams consisting of two people. You could technically spot them as well though. (Marshrutkas aren't so common in Vilnius and usually more expensive than the buses/trolleys.) == Free Wifi==
In most places such as public transportation stops is free Wifi (sometimes a little limited, but rarely). Moreover, it is in many places a lot of interactive art (QR codes are wearing), which also have free Wifi to listen to the guide, business with pleasure. ;)
