    Short answer

    The Tampere tram started on 9 August 2021. The City of Tampere explains that it runs on two lines: line 1 from Kauppi campus to Lentävänniemi and line 3 from Hervanta to Sori Square. The western extension opened in stages: Pyynikintori to Santalahti on 7 August 2023 and Santalahti to Lentävänniemi on 7 January 2025. The network is 24 km long with 33 pairs of stops. By its fifth anniversary in August 2026, 79 million journeys had been made.
