Public transportation system of Tampere includes bus network, tram-system, commuter train services and city bike services. Bus network includes main lines 1-10 (lines 1 and 3 are parts of tram-system since 2021), then there is other not so fundamental lines as 11-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-89 and 90-99. For every number there is no line. Most lines run in a west-east direction, meaning that only few lines drive through city-center. Bus network is divided to sections A, B, C, D and E. Sections A and B are located in city-center and urban suburbs. Sections C, D and E are located on in less populated conurbations.
