Fares
If you take a bus regularly or several times a week, we recommend you get a Waltti travel card. If you only use the bus occasionally, the easiest option is to use a debit card on the bus or a mobile ticket. You can also pay the fare in cash to the driver.
Traveling within one zone, for example within the Hämeenlinna city center area, costs 2.40 € when paid with contactless payment and 3.40 € when purchased with cash.
Ticket prices are based on the travel zones and customer groups.
Customer Groups
First, check which customer group you belong to. For example, children under 6 years old travel for free when accompanied by a paying passenger, and seniors over 70 years old travel on weekdays from 9 AM to 2 PM with a Waltti value card at the price of a child’s ticket.
- 6 years old or under: travel for free when accompanied by a paying passenger.
- A passenger under 7 years old travelling alone needs a children’s ticket.
- 7-16 years old: children’s ticket
- 17 and older: adult ticket.
- Students
- discount when using a Waltti card
- The discount is personal.
- Seniors (70 or older)

Those entitled to travel for free:
- Children under 6 accompanied by a paying customer
- Person accompanying a visually impaired person.

Transfers
Depending on the number of zones you have paid for and the validity of your ticket, you can change buses as many times as you want while your ticket is valid. The ticket should be shown to the driver or scanned every time you get onto a bus.
You may change buses as long as the ticket is still valid when you get on. The validity of the transfer is calculated from when the ticket is bought or scanned.
When using the Waltti valuecard the right to transfer is recorded automatically if the card is scanned while the right is in force.
Single tickets paid for in cash show the valid zones and validity at the bottom.
The validity of a mobile ticket bought in a mobile app begins as soon as the ticket is bought.
You may get on the bus when the ticket is valid and continue to your destination even if the ticket expires during the journey.
The transfer window depends on the number of zones you have paid for:
- 1 zone = 80 minutes
- 2 zones = 90 minutes
- 3 zones = 100 minutes
- 4 zones = 110 minutes
- 5-7 zones = 120 minutes
The transfer window for tickets bought using contactless payment is always 90 minutes regardless of the number of zones the ticket covers.
