Basically, it is an environment for making price inquiries and also a database of different transportation companies. To use it an SMS of 10 EEK (~ 0.64 EUR) has to be sent. For transportation companies joining and presenting their information is for free.

Whom is it for?

At the beginning, for few years, sending inquiries was actually for free, but during the time their number went so big that transportation companies couldn’t properly react and there were some cases, where those transportation companies received spam. Analyzing the situation we established a symbolic fee, to contribute to the environment’s targeted use.
