About Hetku

Public transport, without the guesswork.

"Hetk" means a moment in Estonian, "hetki" in Finnish. Hetku is about the moment that matters: when your ride is here, and when you need to leave to catch it.

Why we built it

Taking the bus should be the easy choice. Too often it’s a countdown you can’t trust, an app that wants an account, and an ad in the way when you’re already running.

Hetku starts from the opposite end. Open it and the map is on your city, with every vehicle moving. Tap a stop and you see real minutes, or a clear word when they’re only scheduled. Follow your ride and put your phone away.

What we believe

Say what we know

Live is live, scheduled is scheduled, and a quiet feed gets a banner. We would rather admit a gap than guess.

Nothing in the way

No account, no ads, no pop-ups asking you to subscribe. You are usually in a hurry when you open this app.

Made for each city

Each city has its own colors and its own data, checked by hand. A tram in Riga shouldn’t look like a tram in Tallinn.

Your data stays yours

An anonymous ID, no ad trackers, and one switch to turn off usage history and delete it.

In your language

English, Estonian, Russian, Finnish, Latvian and Turkish, because the people on the bus speak all of them.

Independent

Hetku isn’t run by a city or an operator.
