BREST, 5 August (BelTA) – Belarus' Pinsk will launch a new international bus service on 21 August, BelTA learned from Deputy Director for Transportation at OAO Pinsk Bus Park Gennady Savchuk.
“The work on the new service began in late 2019. Transportation to Poland was in great demand. Then three buses plied to Warsaw on a daily basis. We studied the demand for trips further and held a survey among passengers. We have decided to launch a bus service to Wroclaw via Lodz,” Gennady Savchuk said.
The bus will make trips to Poland's Wroclaw on Fridays. It will depart from Pinsk at 6.05 and arrive in Wroclaw at 20.15. The route will incorporate Ivanovo, Kobrin, Brest, Warsaw, and Lodz. The bus will run back on Saturdays (8 o'clock local time).
The Pinsk Bus Park was busy preparing the necessary package of documents and getting permits of the Ministries of Transport of the two countries during a pause in international service, which is gradually resuming. “We operate a bus service from Pinsk to Warsaw four days a week (Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday). The departure from Pinsk is at 4.00, and from Warsaw at 19.30. We are mulling over a daily bus service. We plan to resume a regular bus service with Vilnius on 15 August,” the deputy director said. At first buses from Pinsk to Vilnius will be running on Saturdays. Before the start of the pandemic it was a daily bus service.
