Buy a ticket and enjoy your journey!

How would you like to buy your HSL ticket?

The HSL app offers the widest selection of tickets, as well as the Journey Planner and real-time public transport information on your smartphone.
An HSL card can be topped up with value or season tickets in the HSL Ticket Store or at sales points.
With contactless payment, you can buy adult single tickets at card readers, and a fare cap limits how much you pay for tickets purchased within 24 hours.
Paper single and day tickets are available from ticket machines and sales points.

Whichever way you choose to buy your ticket, the same HSL ticket is valid on buses, trams, the Metro, trains and ferries.

Where can I buy tickets?

Buying tickets via the HSL app

The HSL app is the easiest way to buy tickets. You can buy single, day or season tickets anytime, anywhere. The app also includes the Journey Planner, which helps you choose the right ticket and plan your route. When using the app, you can choose from several payment methods, including a debit or credit card, MobilePay or a commuter benefit (HSL Commuter Benefit, Edenred, Epassi and Smartum).

Download the HSL app for free from AppStore, Google Play or AppGallery.

Buying tickets on the HSL card

If you do not have a smartphone or cannot buy tickets using the app for some other reason, you can also pay your fare with the HSL card. The card costs €5, and you can buy one from a service point.

You can top up the HSL card with season tickets or with money that you can use to pay single fares. You can top up the card at our Ticket Store or at sales and service points. Please note that sales points may charge a service fee for topping up the card.

Buying tickets with contactless payment

You can use contactless payment to buy adult single tickets at card readers. Select the zones and show your debit or credit card or the payment app on your phone to the card reader. The card or device you use serves as your ticket.

If you make several journeys with 24 hours, use the same payment method to buy a ticket for every journey. The total amount you pay is automatically capped at the price of the day ticket that covers your journeys.

You can use ticket purchased using contactless payment on all HSL’s transport services: trams, Metro, commuter trains, trams, and the Suomenlinna ferry.
