The first tram service in Tallinn began in 1888, when horse-drawn trams started operating between Old Market Square (Vana turg), Kadriorg and Tartu road. Already in 1915, these 4 routes on Narva, Tartu, Pärnu road and Kopli street were established. In 1955, the tram network reached it's current extent and since March 1962, these same four routes that run today began operating between Kopli, Tondi, Kadriorg and Ülemiste termini.
First trolleybus service in Tallinn began on July 6, 1965, when route no. 1 was opened between the National Opera House "Estonia" and the Hippodrome. In October 1967 trolleybuses reached Mustamäe via Mustamäe street and Sõpruse avenue, in July 1980 a route to Õismäe was opened and in December 1987 a route to Kopli began operating. Last extension to the network was in November 1992, when routes 4 and 9 were directed to Keskuse terminus via Ehitajate and Keskuse roads.
