“Rīgas satiksme” makes amends public transport schedules according to passenger flow
“Rīgas satiksme” informs that amendments have been made in public transport schedules in line with the passenger flow by increasing the number of runs and levelling out the intervals. “Rīgas satiksme” is monitoring the situation constantly to follow the use of public transport capacities. The results of the monitoring show that some morning and evening runs of public transport are fuller; therefore, 80 runs were added on working days, particularly increasing the number of morning runs.

To reduce the risk of the spreading of virus COVID 19, everybody must be involved, so it is important that people have as little social contacts as possible and would use public transport during the emergency situation only when there is no other alternative. To reduce the spreading of COVID-19, the company calls on clients to stay at home, go on foot or by bicycle.
