Piletimüügiautomaat

Piletimüügiautomaat is an Estonian term that translates to "ticket vending machine" in English. These automated machines are commonly found in public transport hubs such as train stations, bus terminals, and sometimes even at tram or bus stops. Their primary function is to allow passengers to purchase tickets for travel without needing to interact with a human ticket seller.

The machines typically accept various forms of payment, including cash (coins and banknotes) and credit or debit cards. Users interact with the machine through a touchscreen interface or a series of buttons, where they select their destination, ticket type (e.g., single journey, day pass, child fare), and then proceed to payment. Once the transaction is complete, the machine dispenses the purchased ticket.

Piletimüügiautomaadid enhance convenience and accessibility for travelers, especially during off-peak hours or in locations where ticket offices may be closed or unavailable. They are designed to be user-friendly and are often multilingual to cater to a diverse range of passengers. In some systems, these machines can also be used to top up travel cards or check balances. The implementation of ticket vending machines is a common aspect of modern public transportation systems aimed at improving efficiency and passenger experience.
