    Why

    1. Yle reports that HSL will raise ticket prices by an average of 1.8% at the beginning of 2027.
    2. According to Yle, the adult AB single ticket will rise from €3.30 to €3.35.
    3. HSL lists the current AB single ticket at €3.30 in the app, valid from 1 January 2026.

    Details

    HSL publishes the exact new price list before the change. Until then, tickets are sold at the current prices.

    Tip

    Check the HSL price list again in January if you plan a trip early in 2027, as all ticket types are affected.

    What may differ

    Other city transport systems in Finland, such as Tampere, Turku and Oulu, set their own prices and change them on their own schedules.

    Common misconception

    HSL prices are fixed for several years at a time.

    What actually happens

    HSL usually reviews fares every year. Prices rose at the start of 2026 and will rise again in 2027.
