Draft:Tallinn trams named after musicians


Twelve of Tallinn's tram fleet are named after influential figures in Estonian music. The namings were announced and took place between September 2018 and July 2019.

Tallin's transport company, Tallinna Linnatranspordi AS, decided to rename twelve of Tallinn's newly-refurbished KT-6 tram units at a cost of 10.8 million euros. As they believed music had brought Estonia more fame than other industries and exports, they decided to name them after musicians.[1]

Each tram has the musician's first name (or the band's full name) on the side of the first car, and an information poster both inside and outside the tram with some brief information for the public to read.
