Ticket prices, electricity charges and the district-heating price were all showing euro amounts the English way (a period, where this page's own figures read a comma). Fixed on all three pages.

Swimming water came off the front page now the season has ended; which bus and bike ticket to buy went on, alongside the new heating-price tool, ahead of October's rate change.

Gren Tartu's heating price rises from €62.41 to €65.39 per megawatt-hour (before VAT) on 1 October 2026. Type the megawatt-hours off your own heat statement to see what the change costs you before, after, and over a year.

Timetabled departures from Raekoja plats and Kaubamaja, read straight from the operators' own GTFS feed. Tartu has no real-time bus tracking yet, so these are the published times, marked as such.

Tartu's fare table is published only as an image, so it cannot be read by a screen reader or searched. This puts all of it into text and adds the arithmetic: say how often you travel, whether your residence is registered here and whether a discount applies, and it names the cheapest option — including when the answer is simply to tap your card, because the system caps a day automatically.

Estonia's day-ahead market price read live from Elering at quarter-hour resolution, with a planner that finds the cheapest window for a wash, a dishwasher, a water heater, a sauna or a car charge. It prices the all-in cost, not the market price: Elektrilevi's network charge, the renewable, security-of-supply and balancing charges, excise and VAT are all in the arithmetic. Even at a market price of zero, a kilowatt-hour still costs about 7 senti at night.

Anne kanal, the two Emajõgi swimming places, Rahinge and Ihaste, read live from Terviseamet's bathing-water register. The page keeps two things apart that are easy to confuse: the four-year EU class, which is years of history, and the most recent sample, which is this fortnight's water. Anne kanal currently holds the lowest class and its 28 July sample also failed at one of its two monitoring points; the register publishes no advisory against it, and the page says so rather than leaving the silence unexplained.
