Tartu uses a modern ticketing system which is already in use in many locations throughout Estonia and Europe. A contactless plastic chip card or a sticker, which must be swiped at the validator upon entering the bus, has been introduced. Use of the bus card is compulsory for all passengers except those travelling for free under the provisions of the Public Transportation Act. Pensioners over the age of 65, and other passengers with the right to free travel from the City of Tartu, must also register their journey at the validator. Students can use their new student cards as bus cards. Tartu bus cards can also be used in Tallinn, Harjumaa, Kohtla-Järve and Tartumaa, and on Go Bus intercity lines.
New bus cards and stickers can be purchased at R-Kiosk, shopping centres, and other stores. A list of retailers is available at www.tartu.ee/bussikaart. Cards cost €2. You can load money onto your card and buy tickets at sales points, online atwww.tartu.ee/bussikaart_eng and via mobile phone.
