There are a lot of taxi operators, which work in Riga right now. And it is easy to get lost in the choice of taxi operators even for a local, not only for an expat. All official Riga taxi cars have yellow number board, which starts with TX or TQ letters. The Panda taxi has become quite popular in Riga. These cars can be easily identified by their brand colours – yellow, white, and black and a logo with panda on them. More prestigious and expensive are the BalticTAXI taxis, operated under the AirBaltic company. These is a lot of these bright green cars in the city. If you got used to UBER taxi services, you won’t find this company in Riga, but as an alternative you can try the Taxify cars. These taxis work via a mobile application Taxify, which allows to track how the car is approaching your destination. You won’t find yellow number boards on these cars, but the Taxify logo in the most cases you will.
