Tram
The tram is a punctual and comfortable way to travel
The tram is part of Nysse's public transport system. Trips are paid for with Nysse tickets, and the same travel instructions for example prams, aids and vehicles apply to both trams and buses. You can find timetables on Nysse's timetable services and ask advice on traveling from Nysse's customer service.
The construction of the tramway
The construction of the tramway in Tampere began in 2017. The service was launched in August 2021 and the trams are already in heavy use. Line 1 runs from Kaupin Kampus (Tays Central Hospital) to Santalahti and line 3 from Hervanta to Sorin aukio. Both lines run right next to the Tampere railway station.
The route from Pyynikintori to Santalahti opened on August 7, 2023. In January 2025, the tram will run as far as Lentävänniemi. The tramway spreading to the west will also change the bus line.
Construction of the tramway from Sorin aukio to Pirkkala and from Kaupin kampus to Linnainmaa started in December 2024. The tramway will be constructed in phases, with the aim of starting services to Partola and Niihamaa in August 2028. The Pirkkala-Linnainmaa Alliance is responsible for the construction.
Tramway makers
The operations of Tampere Tramway are carried out in close cooperation between several actors. The design and construction of the Tampere Tramway track infrastructure and depot, as well as the operation and maintenance, are carried out in an alliance model. In addition to Nysse, the Tampereen Ratikka alliance family includes Tampereen Raitiotie Oy, the Tramway Alliance, the Pirkkala-Linnainmaa Alliance, the Traffic Alliance, the Maintenance Alliance, the City of Tampere and the Municipality of Pirkkala.
Schedules
The tram schedules can be found in Nysse Journey Planner and timetables. The trams run most of the day about 6-7 minutes apart. Service on line 1 ends daily at around 10 pm. Line 3 has night services every 30-60 minutes.

Confirm the validity of your ticket each time you travel
The tram uses the Nysse payment system, which means you can use the same tickets on the tracks and the bus. There are several payment methods available to you: contactless payment, travel card, mobile ticket and advance ticket.
On trams, ticket devices can be found at all doors. An inspection fee of € 80 can be charged for a passenger without a confirmed ticket or the right to travel.
The tram is accessible
The stops are built at street level, so it is easy to get in and out with aids as well. On trams, ticket devices can be found at all doors.
The ride is smooth, but there may be sudden movements as the tram leaves from the stop. You can get support from the bars or loops hanging from the ceiling. A place or seat for a special group is polite to give to those who need it more.
Wheelchair and rollator users and those traveling with prams are allowed to travel free of charge. Pets are also welcome. There is a place for bicycle in the tram, but you have to buy a single ticket for it if the cyclist is 7 years old or older.
Tram disruptions
The tram service may be interrupted due to, for example, track damage or a technical fault. During the disruption, you can continue your journey by bus. Find the nearest stops and an alternative route in the Journey Planner.
If the disruption is prolonged, the service will be replaced by a bus running on the tram route. The buses will use the bus stops along the tram route. The bus stops are marked with red signs and they can be found in the immediate vicinity of the tram stops.
