About this app

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.

Frustrating experience. Tried to register and had to enter my country of residence, the Netherlands (for the phone number), but the list goes blank and never shows the second half of the list of countries. However I tried to buy a ticket and on this dialog I could enter the country without problems, so got it working. Hope the rest goes smoother. (Samsung S10)

Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for the bug in onboarding phase. If this happens I recommend deleting and reinstall. Then proceeding directly to "purchase" without actually buying which brings the contact info query. One can also skip the HSL ID by leaving lowest "Password (optional)" fields completely empty. Best regards, Joona / HSL

Something has changed in the newest version, so if you go off the route tab (eg to open a different app or even just to open the tickets tab), when you go back to the routes tab the route you're following is gone. It's very annoying! I find myself having to look for the route again when I'm halfway through it, which then messes it up eg if you're between stops or stations. I now have to have both google maps and HSL open with the route because it WILL disappear from HSL app.

Feature ideas. You can now add home trip. What if you could add route. Many times traveller checks same route and now it's slow. Select from and where. What if just having Route where I can type my naming and save start and end. From one i icon i can get instantly route trains. Even better custom edit on what app parts there can be in the main view. You can add route list start to end. Like section. Helsinki to riihimäki as one app view and bavk another. Set on what part app starts. Like ticket.
