Take the bus #18 (close to the Viru Gate entrance to the Old Town, where the McDonalds is) to the final stop, about a 30 minute ride. There's a large road to the south and traffic is going fairly slow. One stop earlier you also find a petrol station. Also bus #10 and 14 stop nearby, at their end stations.
Or take the "Elektriraudtee" commuter train from Tallinn-Balti jaam to Laagri station.
It may be possible to hitch from the ferry terminals. When arriving at the port from Helsinki on Viking Line or Eckerö Line, just walk to the Logi street, some 200 m away from the passenger terminal towards the city and stick out your thumb. Many trucks can take you all the way to the Polish border. There is probably a similar place for truckscoming with Tallink's ship, as well.

Take one of the buses 12 (Väike-Õismäe - Priisle (this is an express line and costs more)), 13 (Väike-Õismäe - Seli) or 54 (Mereakadeemia-Estonia , 67 (this is the only bus leaving from the town centreEstonia-Seli) or 68 (Estonia - Priisle; does not circulate at Sundays) or better still tram 2 (Kopli-Ülemiste) or 4 (Tondi-Ülemiste) to Pae. The tram-stop to take from the centre of the town is Hobujaama. When you get to Pae hitch from the crossroad of Peterburi tee and Pae. Although buses in the 100's and 200's (e. g. 156) go there from Balti Jaam as well, they drive out of town and are therefore much more expensive than normal buses. Also, Pae street is still pretty much in town and hitchhiking from there might be a bit more difficult.
A better option is to hike from Pirita Jõgi, which is on the border of Tallinn. To get there one has to walk for some distance, though. One can go on any bus leaving from Balti Jaam to Loksa (e.g. 152). These are also buses that leave town and therefore cost more. To get there by Tallinn's public transportation one can take one the buses 13 (Väike-Õismäe - Seli) 49 or 54 (Mereakadeemia-Estonia), 67 (Estonia-Seli), 68 (Estonia-Priisle) to Priisle (or Seli if you take bus 67) and then walk along Rahu tee until one reaches Peterburi tee and walk eastward. It's best to start hitchhiking from after the bridge over Pirita river.
To get from Pae to Pirita Jõgi one can (in addition to 13 and 54, 67, 68) also take either number 50 (Seli-Pae) or 58 (Priisle-Pae) to Priisle.

== 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. A ticket bought from the driver is 25 kroons 1.60 euro and 0.96 if you buy it from kiosk (February 2010e.g. R-Kiosk) (June 2011) and must then be validated in a machine on the bus.
