Getting around in Tartu

For more information about the public transportation system in Tartu, please click here. You can use the Tartu Bus Schedule smartphone application (available for Andriod and IOS). Tartu public transport is running on an environmentally friendly source of fuel.

 

The 1h ticket costs 2 EUR and can be bought from the bus driver when you enter from the front door. If you have a contactless debit/credit card, you can beep it at the ticket validator near the first door to buy a ticket.

 


 

In Tartu, we have Smart Bikes. Tartu Smart Bike Share is a public, self-service bike share system for short trips. It is an environmentally friendly way to experience all that Tartu has to offer. Two-thirds of the fleet is equipped with electric-assist motors that provide riders with an extra boost when pedalling. These bike rental points are distributed all over the city. See how they work HERE.

 

We also have electric scooters provided by BOLT. They collaborate with cities to make the streets less congested, the air cleaner, and the transportation more accessible to everyone. You can find a charged and ready-to-go scooter on every corner of the city. Learn more about how to start a ride with one HERE.

 


 

We recommend using the environmentally friendly Elektritakso which uses only electric cars. Call +372 588 588 00 to order a taxi. The taxi drivers speak some English and all the taxis are equipped with a metre.

 

From Google Play and the Apple store, you can find also our local taxi app BOLT. BOLT taxi prices depend on demand. In the morning and in the evening prices are a little higher than during the day. More information HERE.
