    How long can you ride a city bike in Helsinki?

    Ride time limits and extra fees for city bikes.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    HSL says each city bike ride can last up to 60 minutes with any pass. After that, extra time is charged until you return the bike. If you keep a bike for more than five hours, a late fee of 80 euros is added. You can take as many 60-minute rides as you like during the validity of your pass.

    Why

    1. HSL gives 60 minutes as the ride time included in each pass.
    2. HSL charges for extra time beyond 60 minutes.
    3. HSL lists an 80 euro late fee after five hours.

    Details

    Return the bike properly at a station and check that the lock confirms it. A bike left outside a station keeps the ride running.

    Tip

    Plan longer trips with a stop at a city bike station every 50 minutes or so.

    What may differ

    Fees and time limits are set each season. Check HSL's city bike terms.

    Common misconception

    With a day pass you can keep the same bike all day.

    What actually happens

    Each ride is 60 minutes. After that extra time is charged, and over 5 hours costs 80 euros.
