    Short answer

    Yes. HSL says bicycles can be taken on the metro and on commuter trains free of charge if there is space. On the Suomenlinna ferry a bike costs extra. Bikes are not allowed on HSL buses or trams.

    Why

    1. HSL says bikes travel free on the metro and commuter trains when there is room.
    2. HSL charges for bikes on the Suomenlinna ferry.
    3. HSL does not allow bikes on buses or trams.

    Details

    Staff can refuse a bike if the vehicle is crowded. Avoid rush hours on weekday mornings and afternoons.

    Tip

    Travel with a bike outside rush hours. There is more room and less chance of being turned away.

    What may differ

    Rules on special bikes, such as cargo bikes, can differ. Check HSL's on-board rules.

    Common misconception

    You can take a bike on any HSL bus.

    What actually happens

    Bikes are allowed on the metro and commuter trains, not on buses or trams.
