What Vivi - Vienā vilcienā does

Vivi – Vienā vilcienā is the commercial brand of AS Pasažieru vilciens, Latvia's state-owned national passenger railway operator. The company runs scheduled domestic passenger rail services across Latvia connecting Riga with Jelgava, Liepāja, Daugavpils, Aizkraukle, Tukums, Sigulda, Skulte, Valga, Ludza, and other destinations, plus international routes linking Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn. In H1 2026 it transported 10.1 million passengers with a 97.3% on-time performance in June 2026, supported by 95 employees and a lean, multi-channel distribution footprint.

The technology stack centers on a digital ticketing and passenger information platform: the vivi.lv website and Vivi Latvija mobile app (iOS/Android) sell e-tickets identified by Aztec QR codes, integrate with Citadele Banka's Klix payment platform for saved-card checkout, and publish GTFS open data for third-party developers. Real-time train tracking is exposed via an interactive map on the website. The product portfolio includes single-journey tickets, time-based passes (1/3/5/30-day), the Rīgas vienotā biļete unified ticket integrated with Rīgas satiksme (€2 for combined train + 90-minute city transport), and Vilciens+Autobuss combined tickets with three partner bus operators. Discounted categories cover children, students, PRM passengers, and Honorary Family certificate holders. Distribution is multi-channel: 20+ ticket offices, on-train conductor sales, third-party e-ticket agents (Mobilly, Bezrindas.lv, Tapbox), and digital channels.

The business model is primarily transactional fare revenue from passenger rail, with tariffs set by the Public Transport Council and the operator financed from the Latvian state budget. Funding is state-backed rather than venture-backed, with no private funding rounds, no M&A history, and no disclosed revenue figures. Active 2026 initiatives include tariff increases, a fleet modernization auction (ER2/ER2T/DR1A rolling stock), new leisure and entertainment partnerships (Forum Cinemas, LVM/nature tourism), and on-board ancillary services (vending machines on one train, name-themed trains).
