Transport Timetables 70% open

What data is expected?

Timetables of major government operated (or commissioned) national-level public transport services (specifically bus and train). The focus here is on national level services (not those which operate only at a municipal or city level and which are not controlled or regulated by the national government). A 'yes' in any question will refer to both types of transport. However, if there is no national level service operated or regulated by the government for a given type of transport (for instance busses), then this type is ignored in this data category.

Details

This entry is about public train transport in Latvia. The bus transport is operated at a municipal level.

Live train schedules, including pricing information, are published at http://www.pv.lv/lv/vilcienu_saraksts

There is also an XLS version available that contains all the schedules together and is reasonably up-to-date (last updates: 2014-Oct-13): http://www.pv.lv/lv/kopejais_iekszemes_vilcienu_kustibas_saraksts/

Both versions should be up-to-date but the live version may also contain information about unscheduled changes.
