What is the penalty for travelling without a ticket on Tampere buses and trams?
Ticket checks on Nysse buses, trams and trains.
Short answer
Nysse says you must confirm your right to travel on each trip, and an inspection fee of €80 may be charged to passengers travelling without a ticket. On train journeys within the Nysse zones, the ticket must be confirmed before the journey starts at the ticket device on the platform. The City of Tampere says that since August 2025 inspectors also work in plain clothes, alongside uniformed inspectors.
Why
- Inspection fee €80.
- Confirm the ticket on every trip.
- On trains, confirm on the platform.
Details
Nysse says the ticket device for train trips is on the platform.
