Public transport in Riga
Riga runs on three kinds of vehicle: trams, trolleybuses and buses. One ticket system covers all of them, and the centre is small enough that you will use it mostly for the airport, the Art Nouveau district and the way home after dinner.

| Option | To | Adult fare |
|---|---|---|
| OptionBus 22 Pay by card | ToCity centre | Adult fare€1.81 |
| OptionBus 22 Ticket bought beforehand | ToCity centre | Adult fare€1.50 |
Bus 22 is the daytime link between the airport and the centre. After midnight the N22 night bus takes over, once an hour: from the airport between 12.30 am and 4.30 am, from the centre between midnight and 4 am.

The 90-minute ticket works on any tram, trolleybus or bus, but only if you register it again every time you board a new vehicle. Tickets come from Narvesen kiosks, ticket machines, customer service centres and the Mobilly or Timey apps.
Riding rules
Services run daily from 5.30 am to 11.30 pm, and in summer night buses run on weekends and public holidays.
Riding without a registered ticket costs a fine of €15 to €30, so register the ticket on every vehicle, including the second one of a transfer.
