The Tallinn Strategic Management Office is seeking a partner to carry out a street space study for tramways, which would provide a basis for considering the possibility of extending the tramway network.

Acute health problems can be treated even during the holidays – emergency medical care in Tallinn is guaranteed and on-call pharmacies are open.

During the Christmas period, 24-26 December, public transport in Tallinn will operate on Sunday timetables, and on New Year's Eve the last buses and trams will leave the city centre at 3am.

Tallinn's transport priorities for the coming year are to increase public transport drivers' salaries, introduce 150 new gas buses as well as to carry out preparations for the renewal of the public transport network and the tender for eight new trams.

In the field of enterprise, Tallinn's 2022 budget will fund smart city projects and support the green transition process, including the creation of a circular economy centre for advising businesses.

Tallinn's streets will be embellished with more than 300 light installations during the darkest time of the year, while a comprehensive light park, one of the largest in Europe, will be built on Vabaduse Square.

Seven of Tallinn's eight COVID prevention points will be closed from 24 to 26 December, while the Vabaduse Square point will remain open on 26 December. On New Year's Eve, all points will be open until 19:00, and on 1 January they will all be closed.

As Tallinn’s public transport is transitioning over to more environmentally friendly natural gas powered buses, the city transport company Tallinna Linnatransport (TLT) is auctioning 36 diesel-powered city buses.

For the second year in a row, Tallinn will organise New Year's Eve fireworks displays in several different locations to make them as dispersed and safe as possible. The Tallinn City Government and the Estonian Society for the Protection of Animals jointly invite Tallinners to forgo personal fireworks and take part in the controlled fire shows organised by the city.
