I'm in Riga, even here public transport is like 1.5 EUR for a ride and you can use a phone app to scan a QR code to register a ride, as well as buy a ticket right there in the app. I also use Bolt (similar to Uber) for when I need to get somewhere quicker, though it can be way more expensive - yesterday I went to a software development seminar and the cost for the ride was just over 12 EUR for that. Either way, I immensely appreciate that for the most part I can just walk to whatever stores and such I need, I don't like the idea of needing a car to just get my necessities (living in the countryside is more like that, when there's a bus to the nearby city where the stores are just a few times per day). Wish they didn't close down a few train routes through the country, though.
