Vilnius buses and trolleybuses have validators that sell a 60-minute ticket directly from a supported contactless card, phone or watch. The ticket activates automatically at purchase.
The one-tap rhythm
Do not present the whole wallet
A validator may see both a payment card and a JUDU card and return an error. Hold only the intended card or device against the reader until the purchase confirms.
The same card is the proof
During inspection, the physical card or digital wallet used for purchase identifies the active ticket. Tapping it again on a validator can display the remaining validity without creating a second passenger ticket.
Contactless offers one simple product
The bank-card route sells the full-price 60-minute ticket. For a 30-minute ticket, a day pass, discounts or several days of travel, use a JUDU card or another current JUDU sales channel.
Know the current fare ladder
The standard JUDU fares are EUR 1.00 for 30 minutes, EUR 1.25 for 60 minutes, EUR 7.50 for 24 hours and EUR 13.50 for 72 hours. Compare the day pass with the number of rides you will actually make.
The airport begins the same city network
Vilnius Airport is served by city buses, including a night route. A JUDU card is sold at the airport Narvesen, while contactless purchase avoids buying a separate card for a simple first ride.
