The cities of Helsinki (Finland) and Tallinn (Estonia), recently signed an agreement to develop a rail line connecting the two capitals via a 92km (57.2 mile) tunnel beneath the Baltic Sea, reducing the current journey time of 1h 40min (by ferry) into just 30min.
This link will melt the two capitals into a single metro area of 1.5 million citizens. As part of the tunnel project, the two cities have also agreed to harmonize their current transit arrangements, including a joint travel pass for both cities and park and ride schemes.
