Line colors that match your street

Tallinn’s trams aren’t Riga’s trams. Hetku draws each city’s lines and vehicles in that city’s own colors.

Most apps paint every bus the same blue. It’s tidy, and it has nothing to do with what is coming down the road.

In Hetku, each city has its own look, checked by hand against photos of the real fleet. In Riga, bus badges are yellow, trolleybuses blue and trams red. In Tallinn, trams are red, trolleybuses blue and buses teal.

It sounds like a small thing, but it means the capsule on your screen matches the sign on the vehicle in front of you. In a city you don’t know, that is one less thing to think about.
