Train journeys in the journey planner
When Nysse journey planner offers train travel as an alternative, it always includes information that a separate ticket is required. Despite the message, a Nysse ticket allows you to travel on all trains within the Nysse area. You can also buy a VR ticket for your journey.
The journey planner does not show zone information for train journeys. Please note the relevant zones when buying your ticket.
Confirm your ticket at the train station platform
Always verify your ticket on the ticket device at the train station platform, before you get on the train. The devices work in the same way as on buses and trams but you cannot change or select the zones for a travel card ticket with the device.
Train trips with a travel card
Place your travel card in the front reader of the ticket device. A ticket purchased in the Nella.fi online service will activate on the device. Travel card balance will update onto your Nella.fi account within 24 hours.
If the zones on your travel card are not suitable for your trip, you can
- change the zones on the bus or tram ticket device before the train journey. For instructions on how to make a trip outside the default zones, see the travel card manual.
- buy a ticket from the Nysse Mobiili app
- choose a VR ticket. Please note that VR tickets do not include the right to travel on Nysse buses or trams.
