Passenger train operator Elron will raise ticket prices on Tallinn’s suburban trains from March 1.
As of March 1, prices will increase in the first zone of suburban lines (Tallinn-Pääsküla, Tallinn-Laagri, Tallinn-Valdeku, Tallinn-Vesse), where a full-price ticket purchased in advance via e-channels will rise from €1.80 to €2. Tickets bought on board will cost €2.10 starting March 1.
In zones two to five (Vesse-Tapa, Valdeku-Rapla, Laagri-Turba, Laagri-Keila, Laagri-Paldiski, Laagri-Kloogaranna) and for inter-zone travel, prices will remain the same.
