Helsinki Public Transport

We took a tram from the sea port to our accommodation in the down town area.  Marcus bought 5 x single tickets from a blue ticket machine.

Having a look on the net to identify public transport options.

Web Site:  https://www.hsl.fi/en

Option 1 - Single tickets
There appear to be lots of types of single tickets with two price points.
Single tickets are time limited.  Typically 1 hr.  I think you have to stay on the same form of transport.  ie if you start on a tram then you can change trams but not change onto a bus but I'm not sure on that
€3.20 bought from bus driver  and €2.90  bought on line, from ticket machine or with the App.
The out in left field price is €5.00 is for travel 2-4am.
You can get 12 hrs for €5.00

Option 2 - Day or Multi day
1 day     9,00€

2 days   13,50€
3 days   18,00€



Option 3 - Travel cards 
These are aimed at locals.  Regular users.  Not applicable to us 3 day tourists.
Personal season ticket 2017
14 days 28,70€
30 days 54,70€

Decision making

If one makes more than 3 trips per day then you are better off with a day ticket.
If you intend to make more than 4 trips in 2 days you are better off with a 2 day ticket.
