Tallinn will initiate a four-month-long night bus pilot project lasting from 19 May to 17 September. During this period, four routes will be active at night from Friday to Sunday.

Since the beginning of this year, Tallinn's night buses have been operating year-round. In addition to the four routes tested last year, two new routes to Pääsküla and Viimsi have been added. In January, approximately 4,400 people used the night buses, averaging 1,100 passengers each weekend.

The City Government approved today a financing agreement between the City of Tallinn and Viimsi Municipality for the night bus line No. 95, enabling residents to use the service running between Balti jaam and Viimsi keskus during nighttime.

Following the success of Tallinn's night bus pilot project this year, the city has announced that night buses will now operate year-round, including new routes to Nõmme and Viimsi. Adjustments to existing routes will also be implemented, enhancing accessibility for more passengers.

Night buses will continue to operate in Tallinn until at least the end of the year. Starting from November 1, departure days and times will be adjusted based on when the service has the most users.

The focus of Tallinn's 2024 budget in the transportation sector is on renewing the fleet, developing and modernizing the network, and increasing the eco-friendliness of public transport. Tallinn residents will continue to have access to free public transportation, and night bus service will become a permanent feature. Additionally, the salaries of bus, tram, and trolleybus drivers will increase by 15% next year.

The construction of the Vanasadam tramway will cause traffic changes in the area around the intersection of Kursi Street and Põhja pst. until mid-September. From Tuesday 6 June, the section of Kursi Street in front of the Tallinn Creative Hub will be closed to traffic. From 26 June, the intersection of Põhja pst. and Kursi Street will also be closed.
