Riga
tramway
Opened in 1882, Riga now supports an 8 line, 123 km system. A metro was in the planning stages in the 1980's but was never built due to public concerns about possible damage to historic buildings. Now, Riga plans a light rail network, starting with three lines. Trams have recently been refurbished by Ganz Transelektro of Hungary.
According to the official home page, Chernobyl combatants receive a discount.
