Bus Transfers To and From Tallinn Airport

Buses are one of Tallinn’s public transportations in the metro and are mostly accessible in the city center.

Tallinn's public transport services, such as buses, trams, and trolleybuses, are mainly operated by Tallinna Linnatranspordi AS.

The main bus terminal in Tallinn is located in Viru keskus. It is known that 14 out of 72 bus routes in Tallinn start from Viru keskus.

Other bus stops or stations start and end at Vaike-Oismae, Keskuse, Seli, Balti jaam, Priisle Kadala, Vana-Paaskula and Kopli.

Tallinn bus routes can be found almost everywhere in the city, even in high-density districts, especially in Pirita, Lasnamäe, Haabersti, and Nõmme, as these areas do not have trams or trolleybuses.

The Tallinn Department of Transportation (Tallinna Transpordiamet) sets the routes and schedules. The contracts are renewable every five years. The route numbers usually consist of one or two numbers randomly accompanied by a letter A or B.

These letters are usually used when two (or three) bus routes use mostly the same trajectory but have different end stops. For example, bus routes 17 and 17A start from the same bus terminus and follow the same course but have another end terminus.

A unique Park and Ride bus route, 1PR, has also been available, which was opened in September 2007 that offers services between the Pirita Park and Ride parking lot and the city center. However, in January 2009, the route was closed.

Almost all routers have two terminal stops, one of which serves drivers also as a resting stop. Tallinn has very few "feeder lines," which take passengers to another means of transport.

Routes are mainly operated between 5:20 AM and 12:20 AM daily. Other bus routes, mainly expressways, work only during peak hours and have a break between 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. On September 1, 2012, express routes had the same ticket rate as regular bus routes.

From November 7, 2008, until the end of the year, the Department of Transport carried out a pilot project, during which popular bus and trolleybus routes' operating times were prolonged until 1:00 AM but have not been pursued.

The City’s Department of Transportation bought one hundred new environmentally friendly compressed gasoline buses, Solaris Urbino 12 CNG and Solaris Urbino 18 CNG, from Solaris Bus & Coach, which started to launch its service in August 2020.

In the coming years, Tallinn decided to purchase additional compressed gasoline buses totaling 350 which will replace all older diesel buses by 2025.

Currently, the Tallinn Department of Transportation owns 530 buses.

Passengers may ride the Tallinn City Buses No. 2 and No. 65, which take the route and stop within the airport premises.

The one-hour bus ticket costs €1.50, the one-day ticket is 4.50€; the Three-day bus ticket is €7.50, the Five-day ticket €9.00, and the one-month ticket costs €30.00.
