    Can you take luggage on buses, trams and the metro in Helsinki for free?

    Travelling with suitcases in the Helsinki region.

    Short answer

    HSL's Conditions of Carriage say you may take regular luggage on public transport free of charge, and passengers must take care of their own luggage on board. The conditions set no size limit or fee for regular luggage. Bicycles are a different case: they can go on the metro and commuter trains at any time if there is room, using the doors marked with a bicycle, but not on buses and trams, where only folded folding bikes are allowed. On the Suomenlinna ferry a bicycle costs extra. Pets must be on a leash.

    Why

    1. Regular luggage free.
    2. Look after it yourself.
    3. No bikes on buses or trams unless folded.

    Details

    HSL says folding bicycles are allowed on buses and trams if folded.

    Tip

    In rush hour, stand with large suitcases near the doors so others can pass.

    What may differ

    The conditions do not define regular luggage; ask HSL about unusually large items.

    Common misconception

    You must buy a ticket for a large suitcase on HSL.
