Hello, Päiväkumpu residents!
The HSL–Uber pilot, which allows you to complete part of your public transport journey by Uber, has expanded to your area. You can take an Uber from Päiväkumpu to the nearest public transport station, making it easier to access public transport.
An Uber ride costs €2. Uber rides are available around the clock, subject to driver availability. The pilot is currently set to run until the end of November.
How to use the service
To include Uber in your route suggestions, use the Journey Planner at hsl.fi (reittiopas.hsl.fi).
Go to hsl.fi and search for your desired route in the Journey Planner. Then go to the settings, scroll to the bottom and select Demand-responsive transport. The Journey Planner will then include Uber as an option for part of your journey. Click the link in the route suggestion to get a one-time Uber voucher, which you can use in the Uber app to get your ride at a lower price.
As a rule, you will pay €2 for your Uber ride. You can use the voucher for UberX and Electric rides. The aim is to make it easier to access public transport.
Your journey must begin or end in Päiväkumpu. The station for the pilot area is Rekola station. The browser version of the Journey Planner suggests Uber only for journeys that meet the pilot criteria. Uber rides are available around the clock, subject to driver availability.
You must be at least 18 years old to create an Uber account and use their services. Passengers under 18 can only travel with Uber when accompanied by an adult. To travel on HSL public transport, you will also need a valid HSL ticket.
