1 Leave your bike at a secure Park & Ride
You can conveniently combine cycling and public transport by leaving your bike at a Park & Ride and continuing by train, bus, metro or tram. You can leave your bike at a Park & Ride free of charge, there are no time limits.
This summer, new Park & Ride bike parking facilities are introduced at Pukinmäki station (picture) as well as at Rastila, Puotila and Mellunmäki Metro Stations.
2 Take your bike with you
You can take your bike with you on commuter trains, the metro and on the Suomenlinna ferry, provided there is room. Bikes are not allowed on buses and trams because there is no safe space for them. Folding bikes, bikes of children under school age and children’s mobility aids can be carried also on buses and trams.
On the metro, use the doors marked with a bicycle symbol. The space for bicycles is marked with a bicycle symbol also on commuter trains. Carrying bikes on the metro and commuter trains is free of charge. On the Suomenlinna ferry, the fee for carrying a bike is EUR 9 (return trip).
