Rīgas satiksme sells 14 old trolleybuses at auction

SIA Rīgas satiksme has announced the sale of 14 trolleybuses through an electronic auction. The information was published in the official journal Latvijas Vēstnesis.

The trolleybuses put up for auction are older models that the company no longer uses in public transport service. The exact year of manufacture and technical condition of the vehicles are not specified in the publication, but Rīgas satiksme regularly holds such auctions to dispose of outdated rolling stock.

The electronic auction will take place according to the established procedure, and any individual or legal entity can participate. The buyer will also have to cover the costs of removing the vehicles. Proceeds from the sale are likely to be allocated for the purchase of new trolleybuses or maintenance of existing infrastructure.

This is another instance where Rīgas satiksme is selling worn-out trolleybuses at auction, thereby optimizing its fleet. Previously, the company has auctioned both trolleybuses and buses that no longer meet modern requirements.

Further information about the auction, including participation rules and the list of vehicles, is available in the official journal Latvijas Vēstnesis and on the Rīgas satiksme website.
