LOOKING for a free ride? Go live in Tallinn. Estonia's capital became the world's first to introduce free public transport for all of its residents. All that's required is a transit pass showing you're a registered Tallinner - and the city's buses, streetcars and trams are yours for free.
Three months after launching the initiative, city officials are hailing the experiment as a success. The scheme is the brainchild of Mayor Edgar Savisaar, who wants to reduce congestion and pollution while alleviating expenses for the city's poor.
