Tallinn (Estonia)

Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, is a leader in sustainable urban mobility. Since 2013, it has offered free public transport—buses, trams, and trolleybuses—to registered residents, making it the first European capital to do so. The city's transport network includes 73 bus lines, 5 tram lines, and 4 trolleybus lines, all operating under a flat-fare system with prepaid RFID cards. Geographically, Tallinn's coastal location on the Gulf of Finland, its 46 km of shoreline, and features like Lake Ülemiste (the main water source) influence mobility planning. The city comprises eight administrative districts, each with unique characteristics, necessitating tailored transport solutions. Tallinn's commitment to sustainability is further evidenced by its Infrastructure Plan 2035, which outlines priorities for energy, water, digital connectivity, and transport infrastructure.​
