The subdistrict is well served by public transportation, with an active tram depot linking to various parts of the city. Visitors should note that several major public institutions are located here, so the area may be busier during business hours.
The area contains an operational tram depot that plays a vital role in Tallinn's public transit network and operates daily for residents. This working facility is an often-overlooked piece of infrastructure that gives the district much of its practical character.
