Bus stops at Abrenes Street terminal get new look

"Rīgas satiksme" has finished a creative project which offered young artists studying design in the Latvian Academy of Arts to decorate bus stops at the Abrenes Street terminal.

The public transport company thanks the students for taking part in the project and reviving not only the bus stops at the terminal, but also a part of the urban environment. "Rīgas satiksme" and design students are sure that the design of the bus stops will create positive emotions and make waiting for buses more pleasant for passengers.

It shall be reminded that on June 14, 2011, young artists studying design in the Latvian Academy of Arts started implementing an outdoor design project at bus stops of the Abrenes Street terminal. Following an initiative of "Rīgas satiksme", the students have changed the exterior of six bus stops at the Abrenes Street terminal by giving them artistically individual look. 

The terminal of Abrenes Street is located in the very heart of Riga and is the biggest one, therefore "Rīgas satiksme" proposed the students of the Latvian Academy of Arts to try their forces in reviving the urban environment. Having received several interesting proposals, the company has decided to give the author of every idea an opportunity to implement it by creating individual decoration for each of the six bus stops.

Every day the bus terminal in Abrenes Street serves more than a half of all bus routes managed by Rīgas satiksme. It is a point of departure and arrival for 30 bus routes which deliver passengers to near and remote districts of Riga, including Vecmīlgrāvis, Jaunciems, Zolitūde, Dārziņi, Mežaparks, Riga airport, Mārupe, Piņķi, as well as many other destinations in and around the city.
