Which HSL zone is Järvenpää in?
What changed with the new zone E.
Short answer
HSL introduced zone E on 2 June 2026. It covers Järvenpää and the northern parts of Tuusula. There was a transition period until 2 August 2026, when tickets including zone D were still valid in zone E. From 3 August 2026, travel in zone E needs a ticket that includes zone E. D-only tickets were removed from sale when zone E started, so travel in zone D now needs at least a CD or DE ticket.
Why
- HSL's release of 27 July 2026 gives the transition dates.
- HSL's updated conditions say D tickets were replaced by DE or CD tickets.
- Sipoo is entirely in zone D, according to HSL.
Details
Some older tickets were converted to include zone E automatically. Others needed action by the customer.
Tip
If you commute to Järvenpää, check that your season ticket shows zone E.
What may differ
Ticket conversion rules depended on the ticket type. Ask HSL customer service about older tickets.
Common misconception
A zone D ticket still works in Järvenpää.
What actually happens
Since 3 August 2026 you need a ticket that includes zone E.
