    Will the Tampere tram be extended to Pirkkala and Linnainmaa?

    Plans for new tram lines in the Tampere region.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    The City of Tampere says the decision to build the Pirkkala–Linnainmaa tramway was made in 2024 and construction reached its halfway point in June 2026, ahead of schedule. Phase 1 runs from Sorin aukio to Partola and from Kaupin kampus to Ruotula, with temporary end stops, and service is targeted for August 2028. Phase 2, from Sorin aukio to Suuppa (about 9.3 km) and from Kaupin kampus to Linnainmaa (4.3 km), needs state funding to be confirmed, and service could begin in early 2032. A project plan for a Lielahti–Ylöjärvi line is due in spring 2027.
