    Can you take a mobility scooter on HSL buses and trams?

    Mobility aids on Helsinki region public transport.

    Short answer

    HSL's accessibility page says mobility scooters are not allowed on buses or trams. The page does not say whether they are allowed on the metro or on commuter trains, so check with HSL before you travel. Wheelchairs are a different matter: buses and most trams have ramps at the middle doors, and commuter trains have a ramp that the wheelchair button activates.
