Matkahuolto's travel cards has been renewed - Change your travel card
The travel cards have been renewed. At the same time, the ticket products to be stored on the card changed as well.
After 31th of July 2021 travelling with the old travel cards has not been possible.
The old travel cards will be replaced by cards containing new technology, because we are adopting a new, identifier-based payment and ticketing system, which is also required by the law. In future, the new system and new travel cards will enable a range of new services, such as topping-up online.
Replacing the travel card
Come to a Matkahuolto terminal to have your ticket and travel card replaced.
Alternatively you can order a new ticket and travel card at https://kauppa.matkahuolto.fi.
Please note that you cannot top up your old travel card anymore.
Using the travel card
The new travel cards work the same way as the old ones
Use the travel card to pay the fare by presenting the card to the onboard card reader. If you need assistance, the driver will help you.
You can top up you travel card at Matkahuolto terminals, agent outlets, on most buses and coaches, at all R-kiosks or by using Matkahuolto’s Bus Tickets application if you have a phone with a NFC feature.

The old travel cards will be replaced by cards containing new technology because we are adopting a new, identifier-based payment and ticketing system. The new system is also required by the national law. In the future, the new system and the new travel cards will enable a range of new services, such as topping-up online.
The right to travel and user data are stored in a cloud-based background system, not on the card itself.
The new system and travel cards will in future enable a range of new services, such as topping-up online.

The validity of a ticket bought on the travel card starts on activation. If the travel card was activated when bought, the period of validity of the ticket would run out during the delivery time.
However, your ticket is formatted on your travel card. It can be activated at Matkahuolto terminals, agent outlets, on most buses and coaches, at all R kiosks or by using Matkahuolto’s Bus Tickets application if you have a phone with an NFC feature.
