How to issue a public transport ticket for an adult?

In order to use free travel, you need to have an electronic travel card and your place of residence must be registered in Riga.

You can get a travel ticket at Rīgas satiksme customer service centers (customer service by appointment) and the Riga Ukrainian Support Center at 4 Amatu Street (customer service on a first-come, first-served basis from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.).

It is necessary to take with you an identity document and a document with a personal code issued by the Migration Service of Latvia. If you already have an electronic travel card, take it with you, if not, a new travel card will be issued to you on the spot.

How to issue a ticket for children?

Children of preschool age can ride in Riga's public transport for free.

But schoolchildren can get a 100% discount on travel if they study at a local school. For this, you need to have a student card - it is issued at the place of study. Further, the registration process is the same as for an adult.

We would like to remind you that starting in 2023, Ukrainian refugees in Latvia will face a number of changes - read here.
