"This year, Valmiera's slogan is "On the Way to Tartu 2024," which is the European Capital of Culture, showcasing the close relationship between the two cities." says Aldis Ķibēns, Head of Baltic Business Development at Lux Express. "By increasing the number of departures that stop in Valmiera, we aim to not only offer an opportunity to explore one of Latvia’s most picturesque cities but also provide convenient transportation for Valmiera residents to Tartu and the rest of Estonia. We believe that our comfortable buses will give people more opportunities to enjoy cultural events in both cities and will promote economic cooperation," Ķibēns added.

With these changes, Lux Express passengers from Valmiera now also have direct travel options to the Ida-Virumaa district towns such as Narva, Jõhvi, and Sillamäe. Additionally, the schedule is adjusted to be more convenient travel to Tallinn via Tartu, with a transfer time of approximately 40 minutes.
