    What are the new account-based Nysse travel cards in Tampere?

    Changes to the Tampere travel card.

    Short answer

    Nysse said on 15 October 2026 that the first account-based travel cards are in use. Ticket and customer group information is now stored in a back-end system instead of on the card, and you can manage the card online in Nella.fi. All newly sold cards are account-based, and existing cards are converted at public transport ticket machines in stages, by card number. Nysse says customers do not need to do anything and the cards are not replaced. Tickets bought in Nella.fi appear on an account-based card immediately, and a lost card can be closed and later reactivated.
