Head out if the city centre along Riia street until you reach a huge roundabout (about 3,6km from the city centre). Hitch after the bus stop which is on the opposite side of the roundabout. Can be also reached by bus 1 which runs along Riia street and stops after the roundabout in that bus-stop where you are supposed to hitch.
Another option is to take the free bus, line 69, from it's station next to the Tartu Kaubamaja (a mall). The bus will take you all the way to the roundabout that connects between routes 2 and 3 and you can find bus stations in both ways. Pay attention that the bus will take you a bit further to a big shopping center and you'll need to walk a few hundred meters to get back to the road.
