Riga City Council's committee supports resuming public transport in the city during nighttime hours
RIGA, April 28 (LETA) - Riga City Council's Traffic and Transport Committee today supported resuming nighttime public transport in the city.
Public transport services in Riga will be provided until 4 a.m. on the nights to Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays until September 28.
EUR 100,000 will be allocated from Riga budget to cover losses that municipal public transport company Rigas Satiksme will incur as a result of nighttime public transport this year.
The final decision on resuming nighttime public transport in Riga will be taken by Riga City Council.
Riga coalition parties nevertheless have different opinions on the matter. The proposal is supported by New Unity, but opposed by the National Alliance and Latvian Association of Regions.
