Riga mobility survey temporarily closed after public criticism

A mobility survey designed to gather public opinion on transportation infrastructure and services in Riga and its surrounding areas has been temporarily suspended. The Riga City Council announced the closure after residents voiced confusion and criticism on social media regarding the survey's content and format.

The survey, which was available for less than a day, aimed to understand residents' priorities, travel habits, and factors that would encourage greater use of public transport. The council stated that it values every resident's opinion and decided to close the survey to implement improvements, making it more understandable and user-friendly.

Officials hope that the revised survey results will provide an objective view of residents' priorities for the long-term development of transport infrastructure and services in the Riga and Pieriga regions. The initiative seeks to gather insights into how to enhance public transportation and address the mobility needs of the population in these areas.
