Since 2012 e-talons also serves as pupil’s ID, school entrance card, and meals payment card.
It is branded as "Skolena e karte" in Riga.
Until 2012, in order to prove the right to have a discount for trips in public transportation and to prove identity, Riga City pupils had a paper ID with their photo and an e-talons card.
Riga City Municipality in negotiations with Rigas Karte decided to make a unified card which would serve both as ID at school and everywhere in Riga and as the transportation card:
THE CONTACTLESS "SKOLENA E KARTE"
The E-talons with customized graphics for pupils has been used in Riga already for 2 years.
In some pilot schools in Riga, the pupil's e-card works as school entrance card in cooperation with electronic regsitration journals MyKoob and E-klase. It is used as meals payment card at school canteens as well.
