Free of charge
Certain groups travel free on Nysse buses and trams.
Passengers entitled to free travel
Children under the age of 7 can travel free of charge when accompanied by an older passenger. A companion can be an older family member or another safe travel companion.
Our smallest passengers can get a cardboard training card from customer service if they want. We also transport small children's means of transport, such as scooters or bicycles, free of charge. When traveling alone, the child must have a ticket.
In early childhood education groups, a maximum of six (6) children may travel with one carer free of charge. It is recommended for groups to travel in the morning and midday, outside peak hours. In this way, the group's ride is more secure.
Passengers traveling with prams or strollers are not charged on buses or trams. The basis is the child's safety, i.e. the child does not have to be left alone while paying.
The child must be in a pram or stroller the entire trip for safety reasons. Empty prams or strollers do not entitle you to a free trip.
Passengers using wheelchairs and their assistant may travel free of charge. For safety reasons, passengers in electric wheelchairs may only travel in means of public transport which are marked outside with a wheelchair symbol. Mobility scooters are not carried in buses or trams.
Passengers using rollators (walking aids) also travel free of charge unless the rollator is folded. Please ask the driver or other passangers for help. Most of the buses and all the trams are low-floor.
The journey of an assistant of a disabled person is free of charge on buses and trams, if the person being accompanied has an EU A-marked disability card with them. The disabled person being assisted pays for their trip normally, unless they are otherwise entitled to free travel.
Finnish war veterans with a front-line or minesweeper badge are issued a free veteran ticket that can be loaded onto a travel card at Nysse's customer service. The ticket is valid in all zones.
Home municipality must be Tampere, Pirkkala, Nokia, Kangasala, Lempäälä, Ylöjärvi, Orivesi or Vesilahti. Customer service grants the personal benefit to a personal travel card. Customer service checks the necessary Finnish certificates.
Visually impaired people will be able to travel for free on Nysse buses and trams. However, they must meet certain conditions.
The EU disability card must be presented to the driver or ticket inspector to qualify for free travel. You must also have a visual aid, either a white cane or a guide dog.
Board the bus at the front door and show your EU disability card to the driver. If you are travelling by tram, carry your EU disability card with you on the journey and show it to the ticket inspector on request.
