püsipilet

Püsipilet is a term used in Estonia to refer to a season ticket or a permanent ticket, most commonly associated with public transportation. It signifies a form of pre-paid travel that allows the holder to use a specific service, such as buses, trams, or trains, for an extended period, typically a month or longer, without needing to purchase individual tickets for each journey. The concept aims to provide convenience and cost savings for regular commuters.

The specifics of a püsipilet can vary depending on the transport provider and the region. Often, these tickets are loaded onto a smart card, such as an Ühiskaart in Tallinn, which can be scanned upon entering the vehicle. This system helps to streamline the ticketing process and reduce paper waste. Püsipilet options usually include different validity periods and zones, allowing users to choose the most suitable plan for their travel needs. Special prices may be available for students, seniors, or other groups. The implementation of püsipilet systems is a common practice in many urban areas worldwide to encourage the use of public transport and manage passenger flow efficiently.
