.Tickets for the bus can be conveniently purchased from the automatic machines on-site. However, keep in mind that the bus service to Tartu is in high demand, so it's advisable to secure your ticket online (I leave the link below) or upon arrival at the machine, but be prepared for some wait times until the first available service!
Rest assured, the buses are known for their punctuality and utmost comfort, ensuring a smooth arrival at the Tartu Coach Station (Tartu Bussijaam), the bus station in Tartu.
