"Rīgas mikroautobusu satiksme" starts to gradually take over minibus routes as of May 1
At the same time, Rīgas satiksme informs that new workday and holiday schedules will be introduced on minibus routes No. 200, 224 and 267 on May 1. Prices of tickets on two routes, No. 200 and 224, will be cut from LVL 0.60 to LVL 0.50. Moreover, e-tickets, which are valid in Rīgas satiksme vehicles, will be accepted on all routes, which will allow passengers to be accounted precisely.
At the same time, it should be emphasised that none of the discounts granted by Riga City Council will be effective in minibuses, and pupils, students, pensioners and disabled persons of group 3 will have to buy tickets at full price. The only exception will be those passengers entitled to the discounts granted by the state. i.e. disabled persons of groups 1 and 2, disabled persons under the age of 18 years, as well as persons accompanying disabled persons of group 1 or disabled persons under the age of 18 years.
It is planned that minibus routes will be gradually taken over from the current carriers and the process will be fully finished in 2013.
