Purchasing a Waltti card and bus tickets

Single ticket

You can purchase a single ticket:

With cash or contactless payment on the bus. NOTE: only one person’s journey can be paid for with contactless payment. If you purchase a single ticket with cash, please have the exact change ready. The driver may not have a large amount of change available.
By telephone using the Waltti mobile application. When boarding the bus, scan the ticket’s QR code using the reader.
