Tampere, Finland – One Of The Best Modern Systems

The Tampere light rail (Finnish: Tampereen raitiotie), branded as Tampere Tram (Finnish: Tampereen Ratikka), is a public transport system in Tampere, Finland. In November 2016, the Tampere city council approved plans to construct a 330-million-euro (CAD $516 million in 2016 dollars or CAD $660 million in 2025 dollars), 24 km light rail system on the route from the city centre to Hervanta and to the Tampere University Hospital. Traffic on the first two lines of the route (lines 1 and 3) began on 9 August 2021.

Interesting to note the system cost CAD $27.5 million/km to build in 2025 dollars or put another way, the cost of the Tampere Tramway cost less to build than on kilometre of the Broadway subway!
