Public transport in Tallinn information

Public transport in Tallinn consists of bus, tram, trolleybus, train and ferry services. Tallinna Linnatranspordi mainly operates bus, tram and trolleybus routes. Elron offers electric train services, and the ferry service to Aegna Island is operated by Kihnu Veeteed.

Tram, trolleybus, and bus services used to be divided between Tallinna Autobussikoondis (bus services) and TTTK (tram and trolleybus lines), but these companies were merged into Tallinna Linnatranspordi AS (TLT) in 2012.[1]

Tallinn is the only city in Estonia to have ever used trams or trolleybuses. The first tram route was opened in 1888. Trolleybuses were planned for Tallinn in 1946, but their first route began operating in 1965. Since then, the trolleybus network has been expanded to nine routes, until it was scaled back again. Trolleybus routes were closed in 2000, 2012, 2015, and 2017, leaving only four lines remaining.

Tallinn has been planning to construct a light rail service since 1970. The project halted when Estonia became independent of the Soviet Union, but in the 2000s, the planning resumed. The light rail would start in the city centre, usually at Vabaduse väljak (Freedom Square) or Viru keskus (Viru shopping centre) and finish in East Lasnamäe, having between 10 and 12 stations.[2]

All trains leave from Baltic Station, which is the main rail station of Tallinn, located near the Baltic Sea. Elron offers local EMU services to Keila, Paldiski, and Turba (works for extension to Haapsalu are currently in progress) in the west and Aegviidu in the east, as well as DMU services to Pärnu (closed), Viljandi, Tartu, and Narva, replacing Edelaraudtee on these lines since January 2014. Trains make up the backbone of fast transportation from the city centre to Nõmme, the southernmost city district of Tallinn.
