Estonia is set to implement free transport for its residents across much of the country as of July 1. The free fare zone will run 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Estonia is already a world leader in free public transit: In 2013, all public transit in its capital, Tallinn, became free to local residents (but not tourists or other visitors, even those from other parts of the country). The new national free-ride scheme will extend this model even further, making all state-run bus travel in rural municipalities free and extending cost-free transit out from the capital into other regions.

Read deeper, their idea of diversity is quaintly euro where the lines being redrawn repeatedly over the last centuries mean there's "true Estonians" vs "Russians" vs various others.
Its like saying Poland was very diverse because they redrew the lines so many times that there's Germans and Poles and Russians but they're all white people who've lived in the same houses (mostly) for centuries; by diversity they don't mean some dude from another culture on the other side of the planet was transplanted there.
