Public transport in Riga will run until 22:00 (last departure from the destination) from December 31 to January 3
Considering the government’s "holiday stay-at-home" decision, which stipulates that during the New Year's holidays, from December 30 to January 4, all inhabitants of Latvia will have to stay at home from 22:00 to 5:00, “Rīgas satiksme”, based on the decision of the Executive Director of the Riga City Council, has made changes to the public transport schedules. The changes envisage that from December 31 to January 3, the runs of the public transport (except for the bus route No. 22) will stop with the last departure scheduled at 22:00 from the destination of the specific route. All vehicles departing from the last destination on the last run will take a full route to the other destination. All other runs scheduled after 22:01 will be cancelled. Given that the decision was taken only yesterday and that not everyone may have been able to switch to the new restrictions, today, on December 30, the public transport will run according to the usual schedule.
In order to ensure cash collection until the restrictions set by the government, “Rīgas satiksme” From today, December 30 to January 3 will stop selling tickets at the dispatch stations located at the route destinations from 18:00. It is also possible to purchase a one-time ticket for cash from the driver of a public transport vehicle.

On December 31 and January 1, buses, trolleybuses and trams will run according to the holiday schedule.
