There is only the on-ground public transport in Riga and the biggest towns of Latvia. The Riga’s public transport system consists of the buses, trams and trolley buses. They run daily from 5:30 a/m till approximately 11:30 p/m. Some routes have a night service every hour.
In Riga the tram, bus and trolley bus tickets can be bought from the driver (for 70 santimes) or in the press kiosks the E-ticket can be purchased (more information on website http://etalons.rigassatiksme.lv/en/beginning).
The monthly student ticket
Since students receive the discount for the tickets each student should apply for his/ her own E-ticket.
Full time degree students can apply for the E-ticket in the Service centre of Rīgas satiksme (http://etalons.rigassatiksme.lv/en/service_centres).
A ride in Maxi-Taxi following a special route costs 55 santimes daytime and a little bit more at night.
There are tramlines also in Liepaja and Daugavpils, but in other cities there are mostly buses. The prices for tickets in every city are different. Useful links:
