“Rīgas satiksme” has received all twenty low-floor trams intended for the last delivery

On September 27, “Rīgas satiksme” received the twentieth low-floor tram, which is the last of the trams intended for this delivery. Out of the new low-floor trams, 15 are three-section and five are four-section trams. By finalizing this delivery, it will be possible to fully secure passenger transportation by low-floor trams on tram routes No. 1 and No. 11. 

Currently, the tram depot of “Rīgas satiksme” has 106 tram wagons, of which 46 are low-floor and the remaining 60 are old-type trams, consequently almost 50% of the total number of trams are low-floor.

Low-floor trams improve the accessibility of the environment for the elderly people, passengers with children and people with movement disorders and in general increase the number of passengers in environmentally friendly public transport.

The supply of the low-floor trams has been resumed earlier this year and a total of 20 low-floor trams were scheduled for acceptance into service.
