Liepaja is served by Liepajas Tramvajs (Latvia's oldest electric tram, the single line connects Karosta in the north to the southern Ezerkrasts district) and Liepajas Autobusu Parks, which run 13 bus routes plus 6 minibus routes. The system is compact and a single unified ticket is valid on both trams and buses. The municipal carrier does not publish a separate pet policy, so passengers should follow general Latvian carrier practice (small dogs in a carrier free, leashed dogs at the driver's discretion) and call +371 634 28744 to confirm for unusual cases. Long-distance buses to Riga run several times daily via Ecolines and Liepajas Autobusu Parks intercity, both of which accept small dogs in carriers.
