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.
