    How much is a day ticket for Helsinki public transport?

    Day ticket prices, how long they are valid and the new contactless cap.

    Answered at: Checked at:

    Short answer

    A 24-hour ticket for two zones, such as AB in central Helsinki, costs €10.60. Day tickets are sold for 1 to 13 days in the HSL app and are valid for 24, 48, 72 hours and so on. From 2 November 2026 HSL caps contactless payments, so if you tap your bank card for single journeys, you never pay more in a day than the day ticket price.

    Why

    1. Yle reports that a two-zone 24-hour ticket costs €10.60 and that HSL's contactless fare cap starts on 2 November.
    2. HSL says day tickets can be bought for 1 to 13 days and are valid for 24, 48, 72 or more hours.
    3. HSL announced that single tickets would be capped at the day ticket price, so travellers never pay more than a day ticket in one day.

    Details

    A day ticket bought in the app can start immediately or at a time you choose within 24 hours. With four or more journeys in a day, a day ticket is cheaper than AB single tickets bought in the app.

    Tip

    If your trip includes the airport, buy an ABC day ticket. It covers the airport train and all of central Helsinki.

    What may differ

    Prices rise at the start of 2027 by an average of 1.8%, according to Yle, so day ticket prices will change too.

    Common misconception

    A Helsinki day ticket is valid until midnight on the day you buy it.

    What actually happens

    Day tickets are valid for 24 hours, or a multiple of 24 hours, from the start time.
