Worth knowing about Riga
- Riga has no metro and never got one: construction was planned from 1990 but was cancelled after public protests and the collapse of the USSR, leaving Riga the largest Baltic or Nordic capital without a subway.
- The airport has no railway station yet bus line 22 is the public transport link, with a Rail Baltica station planned but not built.
- Riga Airport introduced a fixed-price taxi voucher system in April 2024 for trips into the centre.
- Surface transport in the city is Rīgas Satiksme's seven tram lines plus buses and trolleybuses; trams have run in Riga since 1882.
