How much is a bus ticket in Lahti?
The flat fare reform and what it changed.
Short answer
Lahden seudun liikenne (LSL) moved to a single fare zone in June 2026, so the price is the same whatever the length of the trip. The City of Lahti's presentation of 5 May 2026 shows an adult single ticket of 2.95 euros with a travel card or the Waltti Mobiili app and 3.10 euros with contactless payment. A 30-day season ticket fell from 88 to 62 euros for four zones. Yle reported that short trips in central Lahti kept their price while long trips got cheaper.
Why
- The City of Lahti gives 2.95 euros by card or app and 3.10 euros contactless.

Details
