Čaka iela, Čaka street

What time?

This is trolley/bus stop time table.

Wires

Čaka street towards the Central train station.

Looking towards centre

Some new trolleys have diesel engines to travel the distances where is no wiring.

Brivibas Tallinas street (ielas) corner (stūris)

Playing with reflections while reflecting on what has happened last year.

New trolleys

In this is photo it's not just trolleys that are new. The method of advertising OLive (what ever that is) is sort of a novelty as well. The banner is put on a mobile trolley that can be moved around or parked anywhere in the city.

Curiosity

I was just curious, how these trolleybus lines are connected up there.

What happens in economic downturn

It is affecting many people and businesses all over the world. Retail figures are suffering and shops are trying to encourage shoppers with discounted sales.

Cafē Sala

Yet another bakery - at the beginning of Brivibas street. It was my birthday yesterday and I bought some pastries here – delicious.

Trolley

I can not believe how much rubbish we've got on the roof top of the trolley stop.

Padegs was leaning back against the wall with a smirk on his face and a yellow flower in his hand.

The guy with the daffodil is painter Karlis Padegs. He died in 1940 and he didn't get a chance to ride through Riga on a trolleybus because it was introduced in 1947. Trolleybus operates on electricity like tram only instead of rail tracks there are cable routes. The yellow building behind is Latvian University.
