Today, on October 21, changes to the second phase of the modernization of Tallinn's public transport network have come into effect. The goal of these changes is to improve connections between city districts and provide more convenient transfer options. A total of 15 bus routes will be affected by the changes.

The routes for buses No. 4, 12, 13, 26, 26A, and 49 have been adjusted; routes No. 40 and 51, as well as No. 54 and 47, have been merged; and routes No. 22, 47, 51, 64, and 65 have been discontinued. New bus routes No. 25 and 48 have been introduced.

The updates to the route network are based on a comprehensive traffic model for Tallinn, which is supported by extensive data collection. In addition, feedback from studies, external consultants' recommendations, and citizens' comments gathered during the public consultation period for the route changes were taken into account.

The modernization of Tallinn's public transport network is being carried out in phases to give people time to adjust to the changes. The implementation of route network changes also depends on infrastructure improvements, as in many places, new transport hubs need to be created, and the locations of stops need to be adjusted for more convenient transfers. The update to the network began in the summer of 2023, when nine bus routes were consolidated into four new routes, and minor adjustments were made to some other routes.
