Rongipilet

Rongipilet is a term originating from Estonian, literally translating to "train ticket." It refers to the document required for an individual to board and travel on a train. These tickets typically indicate the passenger's name, departure and destination stations, date and time of travel, seat reservation (if applicable), and the price paid. In modern times, rongipilet can be purchased in several ways. Traditionally, they were bought in person at train station ticket offices or from ticket vending machines. Increasingly, rongipilet are also available for purchase online through the websites of railway companies or authorized ticket retailers. Digital versions, often in the form of QR codes accessible via smartphone applications, are also common, offering a convenient alternative to physical tickets. The fare for a rongipilet can vary widely depending on factors such as the distance of the journey, the class of travel, whether it is a peak or off-peak service, and any available discounts such as those for students, seniors, or group travel. Validating or presenting a rongipilet is a necessary step before or during the train journey, usually to a conductor or ticket inspector.
