It's been talked about for ages, but finally City Hall has come out and laid their plans on the table. Two new tramlines are being planned to run from the city centre: one to the concrete jungle of Lasnamäe, and the other - good news for travellers to Tallinn - between the city's main railway station and the airport.It seems that the other proposed new lines and extensions (to Mustamäe and Pirita) will have to wait: these new additions alone will take up to six years to complete and cost the city as much as four billion kroons, a large chunk of which it hopes to beg, steal or borrow from the EU.
The end result is nevertheless likely to significantly ease the burden on existing public transport and make the wait more than worthwhile.
