Free Dubrovnik Libertas Public Transport for Next Fifteen Days

By 17 March 2020

As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 17th of March, 2020, as part of the preventive measures implemented to combat the ongoing coronavirus epidemic, with the aim of raising the level of safety of all participants, Dubrovnik Libertas public transport is making some changes to the way it does business for both drivers and passengers.

According to local portal Dubrovnik.hr, the measures have been adopted in agreement with the City of Dubrovnik and the competent public health authorities and apply to all public transport lines, and will enter into force today, Tuesday, March the 17th, 2020.

Dubrovnik Libertas bus rides for the next fifteen days will be completely free of charge for all users of public transit services. Front door entry will be entirely disabled and passengers will need to use the middle and back doors to enter the buses.

In order to reduce the crowds of passengers on the buses, articulated buses will be introduced on the most frequent Dubrovnik Libertas city bus lines.

In order to make sure preventive measures are in place on the buses which see a lot of direct contact with a large number of people, there will be a change in the operation of the Dubrovnik bus station and its associated services, as well as with the Libertas counter itself. When purchasing transport tickets or performing other activities, you must maintain a distance of at least one metre from other people present.

Due to the introduction of free transportation, the ticket counters at the Pile, Grawe, Mokosica and Lapad locations will cease to operate over the next fifteen days, and in proper accordance with the guidelines issued by the Institute for Public Health, Libertas Dubrovnik regularly disinfects its buses and will of course continue to do so.
