This autumn, Tallinn is planning several updates to the public transport network to improve connections between city districts and offer more convenient transfer options. Before final decisions are made, residents will have the opportunity to provide feedback at discussion meetings or via the website (link below).
This week, educational institutions in the city of Tallinn have been targeted by emails falsely claiming to be from the Tallinn Transport Department and City Government. These messages urge schools to inform parents that the upcoming changes to the public transport network this fall are driven by cost-saving measures and low public transport usage by students. The emails also suggest finding alternative bus routes for children to get to school or to use personal transport where possible. This information is misleading, confusing, and not true.
The City of Tallinn will implement several updates to its public transport network this year to enhance connections between districts and provide more convenient transfer options. Proposed changes were introduced in all districts, and residents were able to provide feedback through the city’s website. Based on this input, some routes were adjusted, and certain plans were abandoned.
