Transportation and Parking

You can buy a single, day, or season ticket in several ways:

• Waltti mobile app: Buy tickets, plan your route, and see your bus in real time. Tickets are valid immediately after purchase. You can also buy a ticket for a friend or family member when travelling together.

Other options:

• Buy 24-hour tickets at the Osviitta Service Point (See more below)

Paying Parking Fees for Motorcycles and Mopeds

If paying at a machine:

• Place the note slip visibly on the vehicle
• Keep the receipt yourself

If the note slip is missing and you get a fine, you can appeal by submitting the receipt to the Osviitta Service Point or using the online appeal form.

Each vehicle must be paid for individually, even if parked in the same space.

It is not allowed to park or stop a motor vehicle on the pedestrian street – unless you are doing delivery work and it is clearly allowed by a traffic sign. 

Note: A moped is also a motor vehicle, so parking it on the pedestrian street is not allowed.
