On Monday, December 17, car drivers will be allowed to use Riga public transport free of charge after presenting car’s registration certificate
This privilege is being introduced to reduce traffic intensity and jams in heavy snowing conditions, as well as to make the operation of road maintenance equipment easier.
Registration certificates of other car owners, e.g. leasing companies, relatives or other persons, will be also valid.
The municipality informs about the expected heavy snowfalls on the day before. Information about when the privilege is introduced/cancelled will be available at www.sniegs.riga.lv, www.riga.lv, as well as in media.
The municipality calls on Riga residents not to use their personal transport during heavy snowfalls and to take public transport instead. When using personal transport, drivers should take into account that going by car will take them 15-20 more than usually, so they are urged to plan their route in advance.
