Shared bus service of Baltic Shuttle and SKSauto on the route Tallinn — St Petersburg
Due to the temporary closure of traffic through the Ivangorod border crossing point (in Russia) during its reconstruction, from February 1, 2024, bus routes Tallinn — St. Petersburg — Tallinn is carried out on two buses with a pedestrian crossing of the border. As part of a single joint service on the Tallinn — St. Petersburg line between Tallinn and Narva, travel is carried out on Baltic Shuttle buses, and between St. Petersburg and Ivangorod — on buses of the Russian bus carrier "SKSauto". The ticket price includes full travel to your final destination.
"SKSauto" provides transportation on buses produced in 2023, equipped with climate control, a water cooler, a toilet, Wi-Fi, and connectors for charging mobile devices.
Crossing the border between the checkpoint in Narva and the checkpoint in Ivangorod is carried out on foot. From 16.12.2024, the SKSauto bus is waiting for passengers in the parking lot opposite the Ivangorod bus station (2 Gospitalnaya Street). There are signs to the checkpoint and boarding areas. The Baltic Shuttle buses are waiting for passengers at Peetri plats in Narva. Passengers leave the bus with their luggage, walk to the border control point, cross the bridge via a covered walkway, proceed in the general order to the border and customs control point, then from the checkpoint to the bus parking lot.
Buses wait for passengers to board after crossing the border on foot for two hours (or longer in the case of large queues at border control and the majority of passengers do not show up to the bus, the driver acts according to the situation). By agreement of bus carriers, they pick up each other's passengers (subject to availability) if they are late for boarding due to queues, problems with documents or luggage. Drivers or dispatchers contact delayed passengers using the telephone number given when purchasing a ticket. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a valid mobile phone number, keep the phone switched on and answer calls.
We recommend that in case of a delay at the border of about two hours, call the dispatcher of Baltic Shuttle +372 5656 3056 and report the location and approximate time of crossing the border, as well as receive information about waiting or transferring to another bus.
From 1 May 2024, the "Narva — Ivangorod" border crossing point is open daily from 7 to 23 hours.
