    Short answer

    Kuopio region public transport, Vilkku, says paying on its buses is simple: you can buy a single ticket by contactless payment with your bank card or mobile wallet. Vilkku also offers a day ticket for visitors who need public transport for a short time, valid on Kuopio and Siilinjärvi urban routes 1 to 40. Tickets can also be bought in the Vilkku app. In summer, Kuopio has electric city bikes called Vilkku bikes, used with the Waltti mobile app.
