How much is a bus or tram ticket in Tampere?
Fares on Nysse buses and trams.
Short answer
Nysse uses three zones, A, B and C, and a ticket must cover at least two adjacent zones: AB, BC or ABC. Nysse's price notice of 28 October 2026 gives the current adult (25+) single fares: €2.80 for 2 zones and €4.70 for 3 zones by contactless payment or the Nysse Mobiili app, €2.50 and €4.00 as a value ticket on a travel card, and €3.50 and €5.50 as a paper advance ticket. A single ticket is valid for 90 minutes, and you can change between buses, trams and trains in your zones during that time. Paying with cash has ended.
Why
- €2.80 for 2 zones by card or app.
- Valid for 90 minutes.
- No cash payments.
Details
Nysse says the contactless 90-minute price cap is the same for all age groups.
Tip
Children pay less only on a travel card or in the app, not by contactless card.
