Postive news

Yesterday I was pleased to read in BNS news that Estonian government has ordered research on possibilities to introduce new tram lines in Tallinn city. For example, to airport and to Lasnamäe or Mustamäe, large living districts. Hallelujah!
Of course, it's only research and not a promise to introduce those lines; nevertheless, it has been ordered. Otherwise it has been very sad to watch all those municipal election promises about huge investments into roads for car travel. Seems that development of public transport has stuck somewhere. Every morning I walk to work and watch how cars are waiting in the traffic jam, and then half-empty tram is passing.
Besides, modern tram lines perhaps would help to change the image of public transportation. I have got impression that here in Tallinn it's regarded as something bad if one is traveling to work by public transport.
