Single tickets

Buy single tickets for occasional journeys. A single ticket is valid for 80–110 minutes, during which you can transfer between services. You can also buy adult single tickets using contactless payment.

A fare cap for contactless payment will be introduced on 2 November 2026. When you buy several adult single tickets within 24 hours using contactless payment and the same payment method, you’ll pay no more than the price of the day ticket that covers your journeys.

More information about single tickets

Single tickets for groups

If you need fewer than 20 single tickets, you can buy them:

using the HSL app. Please note that you must complete the entire journey together. Buy the single tickets one at a time. You can view all of them on the "Your ticket" tab.
at the HSL or a municipal service or a sales point

If you need more than 20 single tickets at once and you have a business ID, order the tickets in advance.

Tickets are available as ticket codes or as paper tickets. See order instructions here.

How to use single tickets purchased at sales and service points

You can buy single tickets in advance at sales and service points. The tickets become valid when you show the card to a card reader at the start of your journey.

Until 21 September, single tickets are loaded onto disposable cardboard cards. These cards can be used until 31 December 2025. Starting 24 September, day tickets will be issued as QR code tickets.

At the start of your first journey, show your card or QR code ticket to a card reader on board or at a station. You only need to show the card or QR code to the reader—no need to press any buttons. The reader will beep, and the display will show the ticket information. You can check the expiry time of your ticket at any time by showing your card or ticket to a reader.

The ticket becomes valid when you show it to a card reader at the beginning of your first journey. After that, you only need to show the ticket on the blue buses. On trains, trams and the Metro, you only need to show your ticket if asked by a conductor or ticket inspector.

Single tickets are also available from ticket machines.
