Transport in Tampere

Transport in Tampere consists of car, bus, light rail and commuter rail services linking the city centre of Tampere, Finland, to surrounding residential areas and towns in the Pirkanmaa region. The system is managed by the Tampere Regional Transport Authority (Finnish: Tampereen seudun joukkoliikenne), branded as Nysse. The name originates from a local colloquialism nysse tulee (from nyt se tulee, "now it's coming"), with nysse jokingly used to refer to any public transport vehicle.

Fare zones are in use between areas, assigned letters A–F, each depending on distance from the downtown of Tampere.
