Disruptions expected for public transit and air travel on Thursday
In the heart of Latvia, the city of Riga is currently battling a heavy snowfall that began on the night to Thursday and shows no signs of abating. The snow layer on the city's streets has increased by about 15 centimeters, causing significant disruptions.
The toughest situation is in the Dārziņi, Mucenieki, and Mangaļsala districts, where the heavy snowfall has made it challenging for both vehicles and pedestrians to move around. According to Baiba Bartaševiča-Feldmane, buses in Riga are delayed up to an hour, and tram and trolley bus delays are up to 15-20 minutes on some routes, with trolley bus delays reaching 30-40 minutes.
Unfortunately, no new information about delays in buses, trams, or trolley buses has been provided. However, drivers can take solace in the fact that they can ride public transport for free in Riga today upon presentation of a vehicle registration certificate. Riga Airport advises passengers to follow airline information and allow extra time for travel, as airport services are working on clearing snow on the runway. No new information about flight delays or advice for passengers from Riga Airport has been provided.
The city is pulling out all the stops to clear the snow. All available machinery is being used for snow clearance, and manual work units are also active. Despite these efforts, the provided search results do not contain specific information about who is responsible for street cleaning during heavy snowfall in the Riga districts of Dārzini, Mucenieki, and Mangal sala.
Some bus routes in Riga have delays of up to an hour, and individual flight delays are possible due to snow clearance. No information about free public transport rides for vehicle owners in Riga today was mentioned, but drivers can still take advantage of the free public transport option with their vehicle registration certificate.
Delays on some flights and public transportation, combined with the challenging conditions, make travel in Riga a daunting task. The city's residents and visitors are encouraged to stay informed, follow updates, and allow extra time for their journeys.
