    How does contactless payment work on Pori buses?

    Tapping a bank card on Pori region buses.

    Short answer

    Pori public transport says contactless payment covers only adult single tickets at €3.50, except for the €1 Citylinja ticket in the CITY zone on line 1 between Puuvilla and Isomäki. Children's tickets cannot be bought by contactless, because the reader cannot check age, so accompanying children need their own ticket. Your card or phone works as your ticket, and changing buses within 60 minutes of the first tap costs nothing. In the CITY-A zone, two trips more than 60 minutes apart are capped at €5 within 5 hours, and three or more trips at €8 within 24 hours, if you use the same card or phone. Buses do not print receipts; you can print one from the contactless customer portal.
