Estonia’s Tallinn city government has approved a new budget strategy, under which the city plans to invest EUR 100mn in public transport, including EUR 40mn of EU funds, over 2025-2028, ERR reports. Tallinn mayor Jevgeni Ossinovski said that the city will replace its trolleybus fleet with gas-fuelled buses and trams. Also, the city will build a new public transport hub for buses, trolleybuses, trams, and trains in the Kristiine district. The budget strategy includes a major plan to modernise the city centre. Tallinn’s city council will now discuss the plans. Meanwhile, Tallinn’s chief architect, Andro Mänd, emphasised improving public transportation to reduce car dependency, ERR reported. He urged to improve the city’s overall urban environment, focusing on better bike lanes, sidewalks, and tram networks. At the same time, Mänd suggested expanding paid parking citywide.
