One for travel writers like
@5625f385ā¦a858d14a and
@cee8007cā¦248d6112 - I'm off to Riga in Latvia next week, so thought I'd sort out the mobile phone app for public transport.
* With the Rigas Satiksme one (the actual operators of the buses etc), you can only register with a phone number from Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia.
* With the Mobily one, everyone can register - as long as "everyone" is everyone with a phone from a country in Europe. Not in Europe? No. Not you.
No app for me then!
(However, a "paper" ticket (it has a chip in it) is ā¬10 for five days. Looks like day tickets are available from the Narvesen kiosk at the airport. So all is not lost; and both Apple and Google Maps have public transport plumbed in.)
(Also, the hotel I'm staying at has a nightclub in it called "the milf club", so I won't be short of things to do).
