Explaining the reason for the drop in passenger turnover, Lukjanovica said that this is mostly due to Latvian residents leaving the country to live and work abroad, as well as rural residents moving the the city - thus lessening the number of passengers traveling on domestic routes outside the capital.
Savukārt apkalpoto pasažieru skaita kritumu Lukjanoviča skaidroja ar tendenci Latvijas iedzīvotājiem pamest valsti, kā arī pārcelties uz galvaspilsētu, tādējādi mazāk izmantojot starppilsētu pārvadājumus.
