Natalia left St. Petersburg on the LuxExpress bus at 12:45 p.m., and when she managed to cross the border and get to Petrovsky Square in Narva, where they were supposed to board the next transport, it turned out that their bus had already left with passengers who managed to cross the border faster.
“We were picked up by another “LuxExpress”. We waited until all seats on the bus were filled. We left at 21.30. Accordingly, we arrived in Tallinn around midnight,” she concluded her story.
Since February 1 of this year, the border crossing point in Narva has been closed to vehicle traffic, but the possibility of crossing the Estonian-Russian border on foot remains.
Estonia has closed the border crossing point for vehicles in connection with Russia’s decision to start work on the reconstruction of the border point in Ivangorod. It is expected that the Narva-Ivangorod border crossing point will remain closed to vehicles until the end of 2025.
Bus traffic between Estonia and Russia via Narva has not been interrupted, but passengers must cross the border on foot and get on another bus on the other side of the border.
