Latvians often drive long distances to their 'lauku mājas' (country houses) on weekends. 'Braukt mājās' on a Sunday is a national pastime. In Riga, 'braukt mājās' usually involves the extensive tram and trolleybus network. Even in public transport, the verb remains 'braukt'. Younger generations use ride-sharing apps like Bolt. They will say 'braukt mājās' even if they aren't the ones driving. For Latvians living abroad, 'braukt mājās' often refers to the emotional journey of flying back to Latvia for holidays.
