>>1039159Sadly they scrapped their trams and replaced with ((buses)). New light rail is on table but city politicians haven't got to decide.
http://www.turku.fi/en/light%20railIn inland, the City of Tampere just in fall decided to start building the light rail system.
Now it's winter so tracks can't be laid down but they are cutting the trees. Whole system is going to be basically Finland made from tracks to rolling stock which is good for this suffering economy unlike the Western Metro extension in Helsinki.
It was very frustrating to watch the City council stream about deciding the light rail. Centre Party was forcing the BRT-meme and True Finns were yelling that electric buses is the solution. Some person was complaining how the new light rail is going to be so quiet that deaf persons can't hear it and it will be dangerous death trap because of that.
The rolling stock is Skoda branded because they bought the Transtech company but made in Finland and based to the Helsinki new tram that has been successful.
