Transportation disruption in Rīga due to postponement of combining train and bus tickets
Riga residents are eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new transportation service, as the integration of Vivi's ticket system with Rīgas satiksme progresses well. This innovative development promises a seamless travel experience, with a single ticket covering both Riga city public transport and trains within the city.
As of July 24, 2025, the integrated ticket is available on the ViVi website, signalling that the system is live and passengers can already start using the single ticket for their public transport and train travel needs in Riga. However, it's important to note that the new ticket system is still in the testing phase, undergoing rigorous functional and technological assessments to ensure its smooth operation.
Vivi and Rīgas satiksme are collaborating closely for the final testing of the new ticket system, with the integration of their information technology systems proving to be a complex and time-consuming process. The new ticket system is a key component of the new transportation service, which will operate within the railway area A.
Representatives of Vivi have announced that they will notify the public once the new service is ready for use. The cost of a single ticket for the new service is expected to be two euros. While the exact release date of the new transportation service and the new ticket system is not specified, it's clear that the successful implementation of the new ticket system will mark the official launch of the service.
In the meantime, passengers can look forward to the convenience of a unified ticket system, making travel within Riga more seamless and efficient. Stay tuned for further announcements regarding the launch of this exciting new transportation service.
