Description
Buses, trains, the Metro, trams and ferry – all in one app. The HSL app allows you to buy public transport tickets for the Helsinki region, find the best routes using the Journey Planner, view all timetables, and receive personalized transport information.
You can buy single, day and season tickets for both adults and children via the HSL app. Adult multi-journey tickets and discounted tickets for students and passengers aged 70 and over are also available via the app. You can pay using the most popular payment methods, including debit/credit cards, MobilePay, phone bill and commuter benefits.
The HSL app's Journey Planner helps you find routes and informs you about the ticket needed for your journey. You can view real-time stop-specific departure and arrival times and track vehicles in real time. The app also displays any service changes and disruptions, and you can choose to receive notifications about these updates directly on your phone.

Ratings and Reviews
USA CITIZENS PLEASE READ
Let me help you- I’ve been to Finland already but they didn’t have this app previously. Now they do, and it won’t validate US numbers only numbers in the EU. So do this if you have E-Sim service on your phone. Purchase 2 E-Sims from Airalo, the Finland one and the basic one called ‘discover’. The discover E-sim covers all of EU SMS only no internet but it gives you a phone number from a random EU country that will work to verify your account. Add your CC and buy a one day ticket everyday for all Zones if you will be travelling around. To use the app- for the bus if you get on in the front, and just show the driver your ticket through the app without saying anything. You can buy a ticket for others too, in that case just scroll. Everything else- just get on and sit and show the ticket if the ticket inspector comes around. Remember- if you’re alone at a stop or no one else seems to be getting on, you need to hold your arm out for them to stop or else they will not. Also only use google maps! Do not use the app for route help!
US Citizens can use the app
US phone numbers can’t be verified but the company sent me the follow work around instructions (which I didn’t test as I had already purchased a paper ticket).
“delete the HSL app and reinstall it; After the initial questions the app asks you, head to the "Tickets" section in the app and try to purchase a single ticket. This will prompt a registration attempt. When you fill in your contact details, please leave the lowest "Password (optional)” fields empty, thus skipping the HSL Account registration part.
You are then able to use the HSL app for single tickets and 1-13 days tourist tickets without HSL Account registration.”
Developer Response ,
Hi, we have just released a new version where single tickets and small day tickets are available without phone verification. Hope this helps! Best regards, Helmi / HSL
An application showcase for quality
Visiting Helsinki lately that application really helped me finding the best transportation options.
As a software developer myself I will use it to show customers what a really well thought application should be.
This one reaches a 10/10 in my scale. It's prefect and easy to use. End users were in mind when they developed it, not engineers.
Bravo. It's rare enough to be mentioned.
