Train of "four capitals" linking Kyiv and Riga to run more often

latvia.travel CEO of Ukrainian national railways company PJSC Ukrzaliznytsia Yevhen Kravtsov says the train linking the four capitals on route Kyiv (Ukraine) – Minsk (Belarus) – Vilnius (Lithuania) – Riga (Latvia) will start running more frequently. "The train of &#39;four capitals,&#39; will run more often. We&#39;ll change the schedule from January 30. Trains will run once every four days. Now, they run once a week. At the same time, we are not changing the [railway] timetable," he wrote on Facebook. Kravtsov added that the trains are now 49% full in the Kyiv-Riga direction, while in the opposite direction it&#39;s 40%.
