ADY.
The railway operator has documented over 400 ticket acquisitions
originating from Baku and upward of 500 ticket sales departing from
Tbilisi.
Railway management has modified the configuration of the
inaugural passenger train scheduled to depart from Baku by adding
an extra carriage to expand total passenger capacity.
ADY noted that the intense volume of transaction traffic
triggered by high public interest has caused temporary
administrative delays and technical processing lags across its
digital booking platforms and physical ticket counters.
"We sincerely apologize for these temporary technical
difficulties and appreciate the patience and understanding of our
passengers as our teams manage the high transaction volumes," the
state railway agency said in an official statement.
The transnational passenger rail service is scheduled to
officially commence operations, with the inaugural train departing
from Baku on May 25, followed by the return journey from Tbilisi on
May 26.
