Hitching in
From Pärnu, Riga
If your driver is not going into Tallinn, but only proceeding on the Tallinn ring road towards Narva (as many trucks do), don't get off at the first roundabout where there is a road into the city. From there, it is a long distance into the center. Instead, stay with the driver until the last roundabout east of Tallinn where the E20 branches off towards Narva. From here the distance to the center is only about 12 kilometers and it is easy to hitch into the city.
Hitching Out
South towards Pärnu, Riga
Take the bus #18 (close to old town where McDonalds is) to the final stop - There's a huge road to the south. One stop earlier you also find a petrol station. But be prepared for a minimum 30 minutes bus ride! Also bus #10 and 14 stop nearby, at their end stations. The buses leave from Viru keskus (basement) on Narva Maantee and the fare is 13 Kroons
When arriving at the port from Helsinki (Viking line) just walk to the road next to the passenger terminal and stick out your thumb. Many trucks can take you all the way to the Polish border.

Public Transport
Not a whole lot of ticket control in trams, but if you hit one you can survive with the help of kind local people.
