Rail cargo accounts for a high proportion of Lithuania’s freight, particularly when compared to other European countries and has grew in volume by more than 20 percent between 2016 and 2018. Most of Lithuania’s railways are state-owned. Road transport, however, has grown rapidly, with freight volume having more than doubled over the past decade. Following the 2008-09 financial crisis, passenger transport had fallen dramatically in Lithuania, particularly private road transport. Rail passenger volume is expected to continue its upward trend with the completion of Rail Baltica, a high-speed railway line between Tallinn and Warsaw via three of Lithuania’s major cities.
