TALLINN — In a shocking turn of events, the city of Tallinn has announced it will replace all the trams with trolleybuses by 2026. The plan, dubbed “Operation Electric Swap,” aims to revolutionize public transport and confuse casual onlookers.
This decision comes after years of grumbling from the public regarding tram delays and the apparent inability of drivers to stay within their lanes. “We figured if we couldn’t arrive on time, then why not switch modes altogether?” said Mayor Jaanus Reet.
”Timeliness is overrated. What’s important is consistency in inconsistency!”
Residents expressed mixed reactions. “I love waiting! But waiting for trolleybuses just sounds more… 1990s!” said Peeter, a local who regularly rides the tram to work. “Besides, who needs trams when you can have nostalgia for a different kind of public transport?”
The plan has already sparked discussions about the new route names, with officials considering options like “The Sausage Line” and “Kohv Express.” As the nation gears up for the great swap, many are already reminiscing about how many times the tram will be late this decade.
At press time, local shopkeepers have started selling “I’ve survived the tram years” T-shirts, just in case this plan fails spectacularly.
