Is there an HSL discount for people aged 70 or over?
The 70+ season ticket on HSL.
Short answer
HSL says passengers aged 70 or over get a 40 percent discount on season tickets, which allow unlimited travel in the chosen zones. The discount entitlement is updated on your HSL card automatically when you turn 70, provided you have identified yourself with strong authentication in the HSL Ticket Store or at an HSL or municipal service point. You cannot buy a discounted season ticket in advance: it applies only once you have turned 70. In the 2026 price list a 30-day AB ticket for those aged 70 or over costs 44.30 euros and a 14-day AB ticket 33.30 euros.
Why
- 40 percent off season tickets from age 70.
- The right updates automatically after strong authentication.
- 30-day AB senior ticket in 2026: 44.30 euros.
Details
HSL says you simply show your HSL card to a card reader, which recognises a valid season ticket.
Tip
Do the strong authentication before your 70th birthday so the discount works from the first day.
