Taxis:-
As a general rule, the quickest way to catch a cab is to flag one down. Also, avoid taxi stands in front of major hotels. They tend to charge more than average. In all taxis, always make sure the meter is actually running. Otherwise, the driver will just approximate, inevitably in his own favour. The tariff is 0.30 lats during the day and 0.40 lats at night from 22:00 to 06:00. More and more taxis accept credit cards; look for your card’s sticker in the window, but be wary of fraudulent usage. Some suggested taxi services: Bona-M: tel. 800-5050.
