The redevelopment of the public transport system in Kaunas using the PIKAS software can be regarded as a success. As a result of measure implementation, public transport routes more closely reflect passenger usage. Kaunas is the first city in Lithuania to present the timetables of minibus taxis together with bus and trolley bus timetables on the public transport website. The website attracts an average of 700 hits per day.
There was a decrease of over 18 percent in the number of minibuses and a 30 percent reduction in the number of minibus routes (with the cancellation of 14 routes). These changes are believed to have had a positive impact on total emissions.
The measure had no real impact on car usage. Activities related to the modernisation and popularisation of the public transport system began in Kaunas at time when the number of private cars was increasing. It should also be borne in mind that other economic and social changes were also going on during this period. Lithuania’s accession to the EU brought new opportunities for many, and with more disposable income, many people were attracted to the idea of owning their own car.
