Ühistransiini

Ühistransiini refers to public transportation in Estonia. It encompasses various modes of transport available to the general public for moving within and between cities and towns. The primary forms of ühistransiini include buses, trams, and in some larger cities, trolleybuses. Ferries also play a role in connecting islands to the mainland.

In urban areas, bus networks are extensive, serving most neighborhoods. Larger cities like Tallinn and Tartu also operate tram lines, offering efficient and often scenic travel. Trolleybuses are a less common, but still present, mode of public transport in a few select Estonian cities. The development and management of public transport are typically handled by local governments or regional transport authorities.

For intercity travel, long-distance buses are a popular and reliable option, connecting major population centers and smaller communities across the country. Ticketing systems for ühistransiini have largely transitioned to electronic solutions, often involving smart cards or mobile applications, simplifying the payment process for passengers. The aim of ühistransiini is to provide an accessible, affordable, and environmentally friendly alternative to private vehicle use.
