From October 22, the project where boarding the public transport by passengers is organized only through front doors will be suspended
“Rīgas satiksme” notifies that from tomorrow, October 22, the project where boarding the public transport by passengers on 13 routes of public transport is organized only through front doors will be suspended. The project is implemented on routes of trolleybuses No. 1, 13 and buses No. 10, 20, 28, 34, 35, 43, 47, 54, 57, 59, 60.
For the time being, the project – Open the doors yourself is also cancelled. Passengers do not have to push the button of the door opening, the driver opens the doors of the public transport vehicles.
“Rīgas satiksme” informs, from 7th October, the mouth and nose cover must be used in trams, trolleybuses and buses, therefore reducing the risks of “COVID-19” risks as much as possible. In the event of a passenger has no mouth and nose cover, the controllers will request to apply it. Medical, non-medical or hygienic masks and face shields or visors may be used as mouth and nose covers.
All passengers must use mouth and nose cover, except children under age of 13 years. Also it is permitted not to use mouth and nose cover due to medical reasons, for example, if a person has difficulties to apply the mask due to reduced physical capabilities or a person has psychical health disorders.
In public transport it is allowed to use hygienic fabric masks, which can be sewn by yourself, visors (face shields) or disposable medical masks, which can be bought, for example, in pharmacy.
To reduce the risk of “COVID-19” spreading everyone needs to be involved, therefore it is important that citizens have as little social contact as possible and use public transport only when there is no other alternative.
More information on the services offered by “Rīgas satiksme”, route schedules, types of tickets and other news is available in the Internet website www.rigassatiksme.lv or in social networks.
