The best connections for your trip
The Nysse journey planner provides comprehensive information on Nysse's travel options and schedules. The service is easy to use with most devices - both on a mobile and at the office.

Instructions
Where to?
The trip search on the front page of the Journey Planner finds the best options for your trip.
- Let the Journey Planner locate you or enter the starting point in the search field.
- Also enter the destination and departure time.
In the search results, you will get several route suggestions using different means of transport. The route proposal shows the walking distance to the stop and the route sections of the bus or tram lines. In addition to public transport, route search also shows walking and cycling as alternatives.
The first route suggestion is usually the best, taking into account the search settings. When it comes to walking, the Journey Planner primarily looks for safe routes that do not require crossing the street. The route may also have paths or unofficial routes that do not necessarily have, for example, winter maintenance.
Tip
Is the route suggestion included with too much walking? Adjust the settings of your trip to suit you.
The steps of the journey
It is easy to visualize the travel time and the stages of the journey with the route line of the search results. You can compare route suggestions with a quick glance and choose the most suitable one.
By clicking on the suggested route, you will see a map and more detailed information about the trip. If the trip includes a transfer connection, you can see the waiting time at the transfer point and several trips for transfer connections. This makes the journey planning easier if, for example, you are late for a previous trip.
Tip
You will also see the weather forecast in the travel search. Would cycling in a sunny weather be a nicer option?
Travel search settings
