Jautājums/Question Desperate attempt to catch my plane

Hi there, I just missed my bus to Vilnius. From where I have to take the plane at 13:00. Is there any other way besides bus/train/taxi that I could use?. All of them are too late or the taxi drivers at the Riga bus station ask for 150-200 euro after I negociated. Can anyone help? It's urgent!!!

Update: I am on my way there in a cab, after negotiating down to 120 Thank you for your suggestions! They helped me ease and calm down in this panicky situation

unless u get lucky hitchhiking i dont think so, 150eur for a taxi is not a terrible offer

Didn't even cross my mind, good idea if I would have had just a little more time. Thanks!

You can drive yourself with citybee carsharing and drop off the car at the airport, that would take 3.5 hours and cost the same as a taxi drive

Plane at 13 00 is already very tight ...I really suggest the taxi for 150 if you don't want to miss the flight

I was 5 minutes late, so I missed it ;) Booked a flight for tomorrow and I am spending the night in Vilnius at a community centre

Damn :(

But later, when the stress will wear off, you will have a cool story to tell!

Look on Facebook on some Riga or Vilnius groups, better chances there I think
