    Single tickets are no longer sold at R kiosks! You need to buy at automatic ticket machines or pay with your contactless card on board! (21 Nov 2022)

      Hi,
      You would need to validate your card first and then choose how many tickets you want to purchase: pilet.ee/cgi-bin/splususer/splususer.cgi?op=info&file=uldinfo_uhiskaardist.html

    I have one question, though. I am going to Estonia with my boyfriend in a month or so and we are planning to use the reogional bus number 151 to travel from Tallinn to the Lahemaa national park. How do I buy ticket for this bus? I suppose regional busses work a little differently than tallinn public transport but I can not find any useful information online. Thank you so much!

    • @VisitTallinn
      @VisitTallinn  17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      You can still use the Ühiskaart (smart card), top it up with cash and buy ticket on the bus with that. This line should also accept cash payments.

    Great video! One question... If you pay for public transport with your bank card, how to you provide proof of payment to a fare inspector if asked? Do you receive a receipt after tapping your bank card? Unlike most transport issued payment cards (which can be checked by an inspector) a normal bank card cannot.

    • @VisitTallinn
      @VisitTallinn  ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Hi, You need to just show the bank card that you purchased the ticket with to the inspector. They can then link the card owner and bought the ticket.

      Yes, you can buy the online Tallinn Card in that case and use it straight from the airport: www.visittallinn.ee/eng/visitor/tallinn-card/tallinn-card/online-shop
      The card will be validated by the QR code and the clock starts running then.

      Yes, you can buy the day tickets only with the Ühiskaart. This day ticket is valid until the end of a transport day. The transport day starts at 4 AM and lasts 24 hours until the next morning.

    Hello please give me a proper answer, I am gonna buy this green card, I want 5-day ticket which costs 9 euros( I saw that info in Internet), so my question is: For example, I bought this 5-day ticket and the card, and I want to to uae publi transport for 4 times per day, do I need to take for example 20-30€ on that green card or paying that 9 euros is enough for traveling during these 5 days?
    Should I be charged every time I use the public transport if I have 5-day ticket?
    It a little bit confusing

    • @VisitTallinn
      @VisitTallinn  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi,
      If you buy a 5-day ticket, then this is what you pay for. No extra money needed (apart from the 2 euros that you pay for the Smart Card). Note that the prices of the tickets change on may 1, 2023. The 5-day ticket will then cost 11€.

    Hi, would like to know if all public transport can use contactless card? If not, what are my option other than buying uhiskaart? hope you can answer, going to visit Tallinn in May, searching for answers regarding Tallinn public transport. 😅

    • @VisitTallinn
      @VisitTallinn  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, all of Tallinn's public transport vehicles have validators for contactless cards. NOTE that they are ALWAYS at the first entrance. Only some vehicles have contactless card validators also at other entrances, but always by the first entrance.
      Your other option is a mobile app and purchasing the hourly ticket.
      And then you also have the Ühiskaart (like a top-up type of card).
      Since Tallinn is quite small and compact I would either go for contactless card payment for hourly tickets. You might actually find out that you don't need to use public transport that much.

    • @VisitTallinn
      @VisitTallinn  ปีที่แล้ว

      From the validators in the vechicles or ticket maschines (at the airport and bus station) you can buy one hour tickets only. If you want to get the one day ticket, you need the green Smart Card (Ühiskaart) and then you can buy various ticket types on it. You need to swipe your Smart Card each time you enter to the public transport.
