This after the Supreme Court threw the case out of court earlier today because the petition filed by the city council failed to follow standard procedure.
The municipality's petition had requested cancellation of Environment/Regional Development Minister Edmunds Sprudzs' subsequent decree halting the free rides.
Now, the city council has resolved to seek other avenues to revive them, whose objective – as Mayor Nils Usakovs has pointed out, is to ease traffic congestion and lessen the number of cars so that snow plows can do their job.
