The bus No 11T running schedule was improved in relation to the schedule of tram No 11 to allow accommodating the potential passenger flow. The traffic on the route will be provided by 13 busses (with the length of 18 metres).
Additional 4 trams were out on the tram route No 1 to improve transport possibilities in Krišjāņa Barona street.
“Rīgas satiksme” will follow the situation and revise the route or make changes in the schedule if necessary.
