Riga
,no edit summary
If you want to get towards the south then the best way is to get out of the city center first. There are several possibilities:
* For about the equivalent of 1 euro, you can take a regional train to [[Jelgava]], a much smaller city about an hour Southward. From there, it is very easy to hitchhike toward [[Šiauliai]], [[Lithuania]], and points beyond.
* From the airport, ask for a lift to the cars registered as 'LT'.
* Take tram #10 towards ''Bišumuiža'' and get out at the stop ''Ziepniekalna iela''. You will see a petrol station just around the corner. Very few cars are actually going to Lithuania. Focus on the registration plates marked 'LT'. From the oil station, do not refuse a short lift as there is one gaz station 20km away to lead you straight to Vilnius or Kaunas/Poland. Asking people there is usually more successful than standing at the street.
* Take bus #23 (opposite Stockmann shopping center, stop called ''13.janvāra iela'') towards ''Baloži''. Before the bus turns right to Baloži, at the stop ''Sūkņu stacija'' go off and you've got a traffic light and a bus stop for stopping cars - everyone's going towards [[Bauska]]!
