Public Transportation

In Tallinn where the trams run along the centre of the street the traffic is disciplined to stop to allow pedestrians to cross to the tram from the pavement.

Buses, trolleys and trams operate regularly from 6 to 23.
Information about lines and timetables are available at City of Tallinn web site.

Make sure that you either have a valid ticket before getting on public transportion or that you buy one from the driver immediately upon entering. If you need to buy a ticket, enter at the front door; tickets are only sold at stops, not while the vehicle is moving. Note that tickets bought from the driver are more expensive than those bought at a newsstand.

Bus, trolley and tram tickets can be purchased at newsstands for 1 EUR or from the driver for 1,6 EUR. You can also buy a 10 ticket package for 8 EUR. The Tallinn Card holders may use unlimited public transportation free.

Punch your ticket right after entering at a machine located throughout the bus, trolley or tram. Note that you must punch your ticket immediately upon entering. Passengers travelling with false tickets or without tickets will be fined.

Tallinn public transport offers also 1-hour tickets as well as 1, 3 and 5-day tickets. These tickets can be bought only at newsstands and not from the driver. A 1-hour ticket costs 1,20 EUR. A day ticket (24 h) costs 4 EUR, a 3-day (72 h) ticket costs 6 EUR and a 5-day (120 h) ticket costs 7 EUR. Electronic devices for registering these tickets are situated at the first and second door of the vehicle and will print the time and the date of validity on the ticket.

NEW! A bus service no 90K starts operating between the Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport and centrally located Tallinn’s hotels running from 8am until 6pm every 30 min throughout the week. One way ticket costs 2 euros. Download the bus schedule along with city map here.
