A ticket bought from the driver on bus 22 is valid for only one ride and will not be valid if you transfer to another form of public transport. You can find Narvesen shop by the exit from Arrivals Hall E (1st floor) and in the Check-in Hall (2nd floor).

How to validate a ticket
❗In Riga, Latvia, Rīgas Satiksme tickets (for buses, trams, trolleybuses) need to be validated immediately after boarding.
Here’s how you do it, depending on the ticket type:
1. If you have an e-ticket (“e-talons” card):
- Find the yellow or grey ticket validator machine inside the vehicle (near doors).
- Hold your e-talons card flat against the reader until you hear a beep and see a green light.
- The display will show your remaining rides or time balance.
2. If you have a mobile ticket (Rīgas Satiksme app or Mobilly):
- Purchase the ride in the app before boarding or immediately after boarding.
- Activate it, then scan the QR code located on the validator screen or at the entrance.
Tips:
- You must validate each ticket for each passenger—one tap per person.
- Inspectors do ride randomly, so unvalidated tickets can result in a fine.
- If the validator is broken, use another one in the same vehicle.
