“Rīgas satiksme” calls on car drivers entering Riga to use public transport to reach Riga centre
Given the fact that today at 5.00 the State Police closed the viaduct in A. Deglava Street, “Rīgas satiksme” calls on car drivers to refrain from going to the city centre by their cars and to use public transport actively. “Rīgas satiksme” also calls on drivers to leave their cars near terminals of buses, trolleybuses and trams to ensure a more comfortable transfer to public transport.
“Rīgas satiksme” calls on drivers to take the opportunity and leave their cars in car parks next to the trade centres located near the city borders, where it is allowed and is in conformity with the company’s policy, i.e. where no additional fee is charged for a longer parking, because here you can transfer to Riga public transport. In this crisis situation caused by ill-considered political decision of state authorities, “Rīgas satiksme” also calls on drivers to use the services of AS “Pasažieru vilciens” electric trains to reach the city centre. At the same time, “Rīgas satiksme” calls on drivers to abide by road traffic regulations and reminds that in case of violating stopping and parking regulations a person may be subject to an administrative fine or, in case of breaching the rules of private car parks, to the fines of their operators.
“Rīgas satiksme” operates more than 80 tram, trolleybus and bus routes, most of which are crossing the city centre. Therefore, “Rīgas satiksme” calls on Riga visitors coming from the direction of Jūrmala, Ventspils and Liepāja to leave their cars in Imanta and Zolitūde, from where they can reach the city centre by tram No. 1, as well as buses No. 4, 4z, 37, 41 and 53.

“Rīgas satiksme” also calls for breaking the old traditions and revising the working hours of companies and institutions by starting to work earlier or later, introducing variable schedules of starting and ending work, as well as by allowing remote work, where it is possible. “Rīgas satiksme” will use the means at its disposal to follow passenger flow and introduce additional public transport runs, if necessary.
