RETRO TRAM will not be operating Summer 2009
Due to the current economic situation it was decided week of May 26 to not operate the Retro Tram this summer.
However, at a cost of 5 LS US$10 per trip it is no wonder so few (approximately 50 people per day in 2008) persons chose to ride the tram last summer.
A simple lesson in sales, marketing and value added pricing may have done the trick. But, unfortunately, sales, marketing and value added pricing is NOT taught in Latvian schools.

Two routes to cruise the streets of Riga's famous Art Nouveau District or venture out to the beautiful wooded park area called Meza Parks (also take Tram 11).
The Retro Tram stop is on K. Barona Street at the Canal just South of the Opera House by the University Drug Store (Aptieka). Check schedules on sign post and our photos below:
