Public transportation scheme
Vilniaus viešojo transporto schema – atsinaujino!
Nuo šiol suprasti viešojo transporto maršrutų raizgalynę bus paprasčiau: naujoji viešojo transporto schema aiškesnė ir lengviau skaitoma.
New Vilnius public transport scheme
The graphic elements in the new diagram are arranged in such a way that they are easy to read, displayed in clear, contrasting colors, and placed in clearly visible locations throughout the diagram. The diagram also shows simplified route paths and clearly visible objects that help with orientation.
The Vilnius city public transport map provides the most important information
Names of city microdistricts
Public transport routes and directions
Public transport stops and their names
Public transport interchange points
Park-and-ride car parks
Main city points of interest (airport, station, water areas, parks)
“You are here” marking at the bus stop
Conventional symbols
A passenger survey and analysis of best practices in other countries showed that people usually use public transport maps when they want to check certain information in real time, so the map uses minimalist and simple elements and has a consistent labeling system.
Additional explanations
Transfer point
These are public transport stops where different routes intersect. The arrival times of public transport vehicles on all routes are coordinated with each other to ensure a smooth transfer of passengers from one route to another.
Stop marking
The stop marking shows which routes’ vehicles stop at the stop. For example: Jogailos st. 1G bus does not stop, so the stop marking does not include the green 1G route line.
Triangle in the stop sign and arrow above the route number
The triangle in the stop sign indicates that the vehicle on a particular route only travels in one direction, which is shown in the diagram. The arrow above the route number indicates that the vehicle on a particular route only travels in one direction.
Time icon and colored stop and route number marking
Laiko ikonėlė nurodo, kiek trunka ėjimas pėsčiomis nuo vienos stotelės / objekto iki kitos stotelės / objekto. Spalvotas stotelės ir maršruto numerio žymėjimas reiškia, jog tai – paskutinė maršruto stotelė.
Icon for connecting stations
The stop connection icon is used to indicate a possible transfer between stops that are located a short distance from each other.
The name of the stop is highlighted in purple
This sign indicates the nearest stop to the Park and Ride (P+R) parking lot.
Old Vilnius city public transport scheme
The design of the old scheme was created back in 2013. The scheme replicated a real map and was overloaded with small elements without any consistent labeling, which often made it difficult to quickly find specific information.
