Ticket and Payment Terms

1. The terms used in the conditions and their explanations 

Customer service is the Nysse customer service point authorised for processing enquiries and loading, selling and distributing all ticket types. 

Customer registers are payment system registers and customer service registers maintained by Nysse: the travel card system customer register, the customer feedback register, the user register for the Nysse.fi online service, and the benefit ticket register. The City of Tampere acts as the controller of the information collected by Nysse.

A benefit ticket is a personal ticket product issued with certain conditions and it contains special benefits, such as a student season ticket, employment ticket or school transport subsidy ticket.

A holder-specific Nysse Card is a travel card sold to individuals, companies or organisations, onto which holder-specific tickets can be loaded. The information of holder-specific travel card buyers is not entered in the customer register and, therefore, the card cannot be blocked or replaced if it goes missing.  A holder-specific Nysse Card is suitable for communal use in companies or families. 

A holder-specific ticket product is defined for a specific age group and the ticket may be used by any person who is part of the same or lower age group. 

A personal Nysse card is a travel card that can be sold to a person with a Finnish personal identity code and can be used for all age group-based holder-specific tickets, as well as personal tickets with specific terms and benefits. Customer information is entered into the Tampere travel card system’s customer register. 

A personal ticket product is a ticket issued with certain conditions and which contains special benefits, such as a student season ticket, employment ticket or school transport subsidy ticket. 

The price ceiling is a feature related to contactless payment in which the background system calculates the most inexpensive ticket for the customer at a certain time, based on trips completed.

A cardholder is a person who has the right to use a personal, holder-specific or company/organisation-specific Nysse Card. 

Card history is a list of the most recently loaded Nysse tickets and specific events. 

A ticket machine is a reader on the vehicle or platform which reads travel cards, QR codes and contactless payment.A QR reader is a reader on the ticket machine that reads tickets, QR single tickets or event tickets on mobile devices. 

Sales points or outlet points are authorised Tampere Regional Transport retailers that offer a limited selection of tickets. 

The Nella.fi online service is an online shop for tickets to be loaded onto a travel card. Through Nella, you can order a travel card, purchase value, season or benefit tickets and gift cards, and check the balance of your travel card.

The Nysse Card is a joint term for personal, holder- and company-specific travel cards. The card is also referred to as the travel card. 

Service provider is a transport operator, dealer or other such party that has signed a service contract with Tampere Regional Transport. 

Non-default trip is a trip outside the default zones of the ticket and can be paid for with a travel card value ticket.  A non-default trip is selected on the ticket machine screen and the non-default setting is valid for 90 minutes.

Tampere Regional Transport is managed by a public transport service unit, which is part of the City of Tampere organisation’s Urban Environment and Infrastructure Services, and which plans the public transport’s traffic zones, route lines, and schedules in the Tampere Central Region, and orders and, if necessary, invites tenders from public transport operators, and maintains payment and ticket systems, and plans and implement public transport communications and marketing. 

Joint Local Transport refers to an agreement between Tampere Regional Transport and certain private operators on a joint ticket and fare system in the Tampere region.

2. Tickets and how to use them

The customer is responsible for acquiring the correct ticket valid for the correct zones. The ticket purchaser is also responsible for the correctness of the ticket purchased for another passenger.  You can use the nysse.fi online service and Nysse journey planner to find out which public transport services and routes will take you to your destination and what type of ticket you need. Instruction about the tickets and routes is also available on the Nysse stops.

The customer is always responsible for verifying their right to the trip at the machine ticket of the bus, tram or platform. A person travelling without the correct and verified ticket can be issued a penalty fare of EUR 80.

Upon request, the customer must provide the driver and the inspector with reliable proof of identity if using a personal ticket product or a discount based on age group. In unclear situations, identity must be proven with an identity card.

Travel card

Purchising a travel card

A travel card can be purchased through the Nella.fi online service (personal travel cards) or the Nysse customer service point.  A travel card for a minor can be purchased from the Nysse customer service or the Nella.fi online service by Suomi.fi identification. A payment pursuant to the valid price list is charged for the card. The Nysse logo and a card identification number are printed on the card.

 Customers accept these terms and conditions upon ordering or receiving a travel card. When a travel card is handed over to a customer, a customer relationship is formed between the customer and Tampere Regional Transport, and this relationship shall remain effective until terminated by one of the parties. Compliance with these terms and conditions is a prerequisite for a valid customer relationship.

 Handling and service life of a travel card

Travel cards have a five years warranty, effective from the day of purchase. Card owners and cardholders are responsible for handling their travel cards with care during the cards’ warranty period. When a card is no longer in use, it can be either kept or returned to the customer service point for disposal. Customer relationships can be terminated at the customer service point.

 Travel cards endure everyday use under normal conditions. Cards must not be modified, reproduced, cut, folded, perforated or broken.

 A travel card that has been damaged during the guarantee period for reasons other than the user’s negligence will be replaced free of charge at the customer service point. If it can be clearly shown that a travel card has not been handled appropriately or that it has been intentionally damaged, the currently valid card fee and processing fee will be charged for a new card.

Use

Travel cards topped up with tickets can be used for paying fares with Tampere Regional Transport. Payment methods vary between different means of transport. The different payment conditions can be checked from the nysse.fi website.

A travel card is always verified at a ticket machine when boarding the vehicle. When a ticket is valid, the customer can transfer from one vehicle to another.

If the primary card reader does not work, the ticket and right to a transfer is inspected using the other reader in the vehicle or a ticket inspector’s reader. If the card is defective, the customer must purchase the ticket in some other way. A defective card is replaced at the customer service for a fee, excluding a technical error.

The travel card can also be used for other services offered by service providers who have signed a contract with Tampere Regional Transport (e.g. indoor swimming pools).

Tickets to be loaded onto a travel card

Tickets can be bought for the travel card from sales points and public transport customer service. Tickets for personal and company-specific travel cards can also be purchased using the Nella-fi online service. Travel cards can be topped up with one ticket product or a combination of products (e.g. a season ticket and a value ticket). 

Season ticket

Season tickets are sold for periods of 30, 90 and 360 days. The ticket is valid for trams, buses, and Nysse area train trips. The period begins at the first trip and comprises an unlimited number of trips in the zones selected.

A new season ticket can be purchased during the still valid period, as the new ticket becomes valid on the trip following the end of the previous period, if the zones of the new ticket remain unchanged.

You can only pay for your own trip with a season ticket. The 90-day season ticket can only be purchased through the Nella.fi online service, and only for two zones and adult age groups.

Value ticket

A value ticket is monetary value loaded onto a travel card with which you can pay for a single ticket for buses, trams, and Nysse area train trips, night fare, another person’s ticket, and some public sports services. The price of the ticket is charged from the balance loaded onto the travel card (max. €120), in accordance with the zones selected. A value ticket is valid for 90 minutes after the travel card has been used at a ticket device for the first time.

You can change the zones for an individual trip (a non-default trip) at a tram or bus ticket device before paying for the trip.

Ticket reimbursement

Refunds for unused tickets

A refund for unused tickets loaded onto a personal travel card can be requested at the customer service point. For that, you need your travel card and ID. The refund amount is based on the ticket fare at the time it was loaded onto the card. Possible refund methods:

• converting the remaining value of a seasonal ticket into a value ticket
• paying the balance of a value ticket to the customer in cash
• paying the price of an unused seasonal ticket to the customer in cash
• a gift card.

If the request for a refund is based on changes in the customer’s life circumstances (e.g. long-term hospitalisation, illness or unemployment), tickets remaining on the card at the time the card became unnecessary can also be taken into account. If the request for a refund in arrears is based on the customer’s temporary inability to use the ticket (for over five (5) days, e.g. due to hospitalisation or illness) for a certain period of time during the ticket’s validity period, a refund can only be considered regarding tickets whose usage information is available. A refund requires sufficient proof of the inability to use the tickets.

If a card owner passes away, their next of kin or estate can request a refund for the tickets remaining on their travel card.

A handling fee according to the valid price list is always charged for refund. When refunding Season Tickets valid for longer than 30 days, the handling fee is charged for the ongoing period as well as for each full remaining 30-day period (a maximum of six periods in total). If the refund sum is smaller than the handling fee, no refund is payable. Tickets on holder-specific travel cards cannot be refunded. Benefit tickets cannot be refunded because their value is fully or partially subsidised.

Incorrect ticket top-ups

Incorrect ticket top-ups are primarily corrected at the top-up point where the mistake was made. If the mistake cannot be corrected at the original top-up point, the request for correction is processed at the customer service point according to the Tampere Regional Transport guidelines. If it can be clearly shown that the incorrect top-up was due to the customer’s mistake or carelessness, the ticket is processed as unused (see previous section).

If it can be clearly shown that the incorrect top-up was due to the service provider’s mistake, the ticket is processed as unused, as outlined above, but no handling fee will be charged. The request for correction must be made within two months after the customer notices or should have noticed the mistake. Reasonable travel expenses incurred by the mistake can be refunded to the customer (two advance Nysse single tickets at maximum).

Incorrect charges on value tickets

Incorrect charges on value tickets can be restored to the travel card or refunded in cash or as an electronic gift card.

Request for correction concerning incorrect charges for value tickets must be made within two months after the customer notices or should have noticed the mistake. The requests for correction are processed at the customer service point according to the Tampere Regional Transport guidelines.

If the incorrect charge was made by a service provider other than Nysse (e.g. an indoor swimming pool), this service provider will handle the correction.

Other enquiries and refunds

Other requests for correction in relation to payment methods, travel cards and travelling must be made within two months after the customer notices or should have noticed the mistake. The enquiries are processed at the customer service point according to the Tampere Regional Transport guidelines.

Upon making a request for correction, the customer must present proof of their identity as well as appropriate proof of what has happened. If a customer cannot visit the customer service point in person, another person can act in their place by power of attorney.

If a request for a refund and/or complaint is accepted, reasonable costs incurred for the customer by the mistake will be compensated in keeping with the currently valid consumer protection regulations. Refunds can be calculated for seasonal tickets loaded onto travel cards that have not been used fully or at all as well as for unused tickets as outlined in “Refunds for unused tickets” above. In addition, refunds can be paid in arrears

• for used value tickets according to the fares valid at the time and
• for used seasonal tickets, based on the ticket fare at the time it was loaded onto the card.

If the request for a refund in arrears is based on the customer’s temporary inability to use the ticket (for over five (5) days, e.g. due to long-term hospitalisation or illness) for a certain period of time during the ticket’s validity period, a refund can only be considered regarding tickets whose usage information is available. The loss of ticket value is calculated by comparing the total ticket price with the value of trips completed with the ticket (number of fares multiplied with the valid value ticket fare during the time in question). If the total ticket price is lower than the value of trips completed, no refund is payable.

A handling fee is charged if the need for a refund was caused by the customer’s mistake, carelessness or inability to use the ticket days (over five days, e.g. due to long-term hospitalisation or illness). When refunding Season Tickets valid for longer than 30 days, the handling fee is charged for the ongoing period as well as for each full remaining 30-day period (a maximum of six periods in total). If the refund sum is smaller than the handling fee, no refund is payable. If the need for a refund was caused by a service provider’s mistake, no handling fee is charged.

The card fees will not be refunded. Benefit tickets cannot be refunded or returned, as their value is fully or partially subsidised. Separate refund guidelines will be issued for cases of extensive public transport operation interruptions such as strikes. Temporary service issues (e.g. missing a single bus service, running ahead of or behind schedule) are generally not valid causes for compensation. However, compensation can be paid on a case-to-case basis upon application to Tampere Regional Transport.

Termination of travel cards and customer relationships

A card owner has the right to terminate their travel card and customer relationship at the customer service point at any time. Proof of identity must be presented. If a card owner returns their personal travel card, any tickets remaining on the card will be redeemed. These tickets are processed as unused, as outlined above.

If a customer cannot visit the customer service point in person, another person can act in their place by power of attorney. If a card owner passes away, their next of kin or estate can request a refund for the tickets remaining on their travel card.

A handling fee according to the currently valid price list is always charged for this. When refunding season tickets valid for longer than 30 days, the handling fee is charged for the ongoing period as well as for each full remaining 30-day period (a maximum of six periods in total). Tickets cannot be redeemed if the redeemed value is lower than the handling fee, if the travel card is not returned, or if the travel card is holder-specific.

Nysse is entitled to terminate a customer relationship if the terms and conditions are not met. In order to maintain the customer relationship, the customer must observe Nysse’s ticket and travel terms and conditions. Customer information stored in the customer register is retained for one year after the termination of customer relationships. The information stored in the register is itemised in the register description.

Nysse Mobiili

The Nysse Mobiili application can be used to purchase single and day tickets and student season tickets. The mobile ticket is valid for the tram, buses, and Nysse area train trips. The ticket is valid from the time of the purchase. 

The purchasing of a ticket cannot be cancelled. The receipts for purchases can be viewed in the mobiilinysse.fi/en service. 

You can pay using a Visa, Visa Electron or Mastercard card. Single and day tickets can also be paid with a phone bill (mobile payment), for example. Download the application from Google Play or the App Store. 

A ticket purchased through the application must be verified for each trip. Put your phone under the ticket machine, screen up, allowing the ticket machine to read the QR code on the ticket. The ticket must be presented to a driver or inspector upon request. 

You can use Nysse Mobiili without registering. By registering a username, the user can manage their user data on new devices, for example, when switching to a new phone. Data management is available at mobiilinysse.fi/en. No information about the payment card is saved on the application. 

The ticket must be purchased with the device it will be used on. The application can also be used to purchase a single or day ticket for another person on the same trip. Children aged 0–6 do not need a ticket when travelling with a parent or guardian.  The purchaser of a ticket is also responsible for the validity of the ticket purchased for another person.

Single ticket 

A single ticket bought through Nysse Mobiili is valid for 90 minutes, starting from the moment of purchase. From midnight to 04.40 a.m., a night fare is added to the price of the ticket.

Contactless payment

Contactless payment can be used to pay for a trip in the Nysse bus and tram traffic. The night fare is charged between 00.00–04.40 am in addition to the normal fare. The ticket is valid for 90 minutes, starting from the moment of purchase. A price ceiling comparable to a transfer period is used during the validity of the ticket: for 90 minutes, the customer will not be charged a payment higher than a set price.

Visa, Mastercard and Eurocard payment cards with a contactless payment feature are accepted for contactless payment. Travel cards connected with mobile devices (mobile wallets), such as ApplePay, Pivo, and Google Pay, are also accepted. In order for the price ceiling to work correctly, you must always use the same payment card or mobile payment for the payment.

You can only pay for your own trip with contactless payment.

Use the contactless payment at the ticket machine of the bus or tram. You must also use the payment card at the reader device on a transfer trip so that the price to be charged is formed correctly (price ceiling). Use the ticket machine’s contactless payment button to select the payment method, after which you can select the correct zones. After this, the means of payment is presented to the reader on the ticket machine’s left side. The ticket machine screen shows whether the purchase was accepted, but not the price of the trip. No receipt of the purchase will be printed out, since the price to be charged from the customer is calculated in the background system based on the trips the customer makes during 90 minutes.

You can check the payments charged and the trips made from the customer portal (at nysse.littlepay.com). Use the payment card details to log in to the portal. The portal shows the trips made and the prices charged. There, you can also print out a receipt.

If the payment cannot be charged from the customer’s account, the payment card is recorded in the Nysse block list. In this case it cannot be used for contactless payment in the Nysse traffic. The card is removed from the list once the payment has been charged. The customer’s account is automatically requested to reimburse the debt for two weeks. After this, the payment card can only be removed from the Nysse block list through customer service.

Customer service processes the compensation applications and complaints on a case-by-case basis.

Night fare 

In Nysse traffic, a night fare is charged in addition to the normal fare from midnight to 04.40 a.m. A transfer trip made after midnight is only subject to a night fare.

7. Ticket inspection 

The ticket inspection in the Nysse traffic area are performed by the City of Tampere as actions taken by authorities. On trains, the inspections are organised by VR.  The operations of ticket inspectors are based on the act on penalty fares in public transport (469/79) and the act on maintaining order in public transport (472/77). 

The penalty fare of EUR 80 is issued if the passenger does not have the ticket entitling them to the trip.In order to continue the trip, the passenger must also purchase the ticket that entitles them to the trip. If the ticket was purchased with a mobile wallet, the customer must be prepared to show the payment transaction of the mobile wallet to the inspector.

The situations in which the penalty fare can be issued include: 

• the passenger does not have a ticket or other right to the trip 
• the right to the trip has not been confirmed (e.g. the travel card has not been presented to the reader) 
• the passenger uses another’s personal ticket (e.g. a student ticket, Kela school transport subsidy ticket, school ticket, employment ticket) 
• the ticket is not valid 
• the passenger has a ticket of a lower age group: an adult has a youth or children’s ticket, a youth a children’s ticket. The senior discount can only be used by a passenger aged 65 or older. 
• the passenger has the ticket of a wrong tariff (wrong zone, old tariff) 
• the travel card has been blocked. 

Inspectors may wear civilian or official clothes. Inspectors have an inspector passport which they will show upon request. Inspectors wearing civilian clothes have the inspector passport on a visible place throughout the inspection. 

An inspector has the right to apprehend a customer travelling without a ticket. 

According to the act on penalty fares on public transport, the customer must, upon the inspector’s request, give their personal details. The penalty fare cannot be paid in the inspection situation with cash nor bank or credit card. A passenger who has been issued a penalty fare may demand that the inspector’s decision be changed. 

8. Strike or traffic service issues

Force majeure situations (for example a natural disaster or a large-scale strike/work stoppage concerning Nysse traffic) do not generally entitle to compensation. Possible refund practices will be announced on Nysse's website and separate instructions will be given after the situation has ended.

Occasional minor schedule deviations, for example missing a shift or part of it, or arriving early or late, do not in principle entitle you to refunds of the ticket price or damages. In principle, there is also no right for refund when the schedule deviation is caused by an unforeseeable traffic problem that Nysse could not have reasonably prevented. If possible, the passenger should use other Nysse transport lines or wait for a replacement shift. Already when planning the trip, it should be taken into account that the stop schedules of intermediate stops are estimated arrival/departure times. to the stop.

If the reason for the delay has not been an unforeseen circumstance, the shift delay has been significant and a replacement shift has not been available within a reasonable time, possible compensation/damage will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

9. Traffic-related injuries

Transport operators are responsible for traffic-related injuries, and the possible claims for damages are processed with the transport operator and their insurance company. Each claim for damages is processed on a case-by-case basis.

A claim for damages can be delivered to the transport operator either directly or through customer service. The claim must state the precise time and place of the injury, direction of traffic, line, transport operator, and vehicle number.
