Why Some Riga Public Transport Routes Vanish for Long Periods or for Good
Riga operates 50 bus, 22 trolleybus and seven tram routes, but some of them, including long-established ones, disappear for a long time or never return. Passengers are asking whether they can hope to see them restored.
The Latvian capital, Riga, has an extensive public transport network: the city runs 50 bus, 22 trolleybus and seven tram routes. Around half a million people use public transport in the city every day.
However, some routes drop out of service for a long time or do not come back at all. This also applies to routes that have existed for many years. Such changes cause inconvenience for passengers who were used to travelling on them.
The article raises the question of why routes disappear and whether passengers can hope for their restoration. The available part of the source text does not answer these questions, so specific names of the lost routes, the reasons for their removal and any restoration plans are not covered here.
