From Monday, March 15, trolleybuses will run on bus routes No. 1 and No. 5
"Rīgas satiksme" informs that due to redistribution of resources and more efficient use of all company resources, from March 15for a temporary period, on bus routes No. 1 and No. 5, long trolleybuses, not buses, will perform passenger transportation.
The route numbering will be preserved, but in addition to the numbering, the letter A will be added - 1A respectively “Abrenes Street - Bergi village” and 5A “Abrenes Street – Mežciems”. There will be no other changes in passenger service and trolleybuses assigned to bus routes No. 1 and No. 5 will run on the same bus route, stop at all stops planned on the route and run according to the same traffic schedule.
Passengers travelling on the above-mentioned bus routes who have purchased a monthly ticket will be able to continue using it on trolleybus routes No. 1A and No. 5A.
In order to reduce the flow of passengers, buses running on these routes will be diverted to other routes, while the infrastructure of bus routes No. 1 and No. 5 allows passenger transportation by trolleybuses - trolleybuses will perform part of the route section by connecting to the catenary system and part - by diesel generator.
