Why there is no "real time" here
TLT publishes vehicle positions in a gps.txt file, but there is no GTFS-RT feed and no service alerts. Without them a page cannot promise delays or disruptions. Every time on this site is a timetabled time, and says so.
Correction log
10 October 2026 — line T6 is running
T6 started on 1 September 2026. In TLT’s timetable (9 October release, valid from 1 October) it runs Kopli – Suur-Paala: on weekdays the first departure is 05:35, the last 23:48 from Kopli and 00:26 from Suur-Paala, every 10–11 minutes at peak times. The “not running yet” notices were removed and every T6 stop card shows its own departures.
10 October 2026 — the October timetable
Headways, first and last departures and the T5 times were updated from the timetable valid from 1 October: 10–11 min at peak, 13 min around midday, 15 min in the evening; T5 every 20–30 min, last departures 21:12 (Vana-Lõuna) and 21:54 (Kopli). Stop cards now show the last departure, not the last arrival (e.g. Kopli: T1 23:40, not 00:36), and the latest departure is 00:45 (T4 from the airport), not 01:06. Ülemiste jaam was also removed from the T2 and T4 diagrams and stop counts (T2 26, T4 16 stops).
10 October 2026 — history and other fixes
The Tondi line opened in 1936 (not 1955), line 5 on 1 November 2023 (not 2022), and the Kopli line was electrified in 1951 (not 1925). No Elron trains have run to Pärnu since December 2018. Contactless bank cards work at the validator by every door since 27 May 2026.
27 August 2026 — line T6 is not running yet
The site said T6 would start at the end of August. TLT’s timetable (26 August release, valid 1–31 August) contains only T1–T5, and ERR reported today that the line starts in September. The line page and the Pae, Väike-Paala and Suur-Paala stop pages now carry a clear notice, and the T6 departure times were removed from the stop cards.
27 August 2026 — no tram calls at Ülemiste jaam
The site listed it as a T2/T4 stop. In the timetable both run from Majaka põik straight to Ülemiste linnak and on to the airport. The page stays — Ülemiste jaam is a bus and train stop — but now says so plainly.
27 August 2026 — the last tram is not 00:10
The site said last departures were between 23:40 and 00:10. In the timetable T4 runs until 01:06 and T2 until 00:54, while T5 stops as early as 22:37. Every stop page now carries its own real first and last departures — 384 figures.
27 August 2026 — English pages linked into Estonian
On 51 English pages the line links pointed at the Estonian slugs (/trammiliin-tN/), dropping the reader out of English. 152 links fixed.
