  • Travelling in Finland is actually quite easy once you know how to use the public transport in Finland. In this video I will teach you how to use the buses, local trains, trams and metro in Helsinki. Note that buses work similarly all over Finland but at the moment trams, metro and local trains are only in use in Helsinki area.

    I noticed how organized and clean public transportation is in Finland. It's impressive.

    Crazy! I was looking up ways to travel about in Finland earlier today. I can't believe how much research I've been putting into this- I may actually go! The goal is to fly from Los Angeles to Helsinki, and travel to Tampere and Turku. Jazzed for this video, as I'm looking into visiting this September!

    It's exactly the same in France, except for the use of the same tickets for several types of transport, it starts to be done but it's different companies so sometimes only the correspondence from a vehicle to another allows the use of the ticket of the other company.

    Today i left Helsinki after a month , this video came a little late hahahaha but i learned about how to use public transport menwhile i was staying there, never used the train but it seems is pretty easy. The first time i used the metro i was so confused because in my country (Chile), the metro train always came from the left and in Helsinki is from the right

    The 'cash only' in buses varies from city to city. Some companies accept cards, but cash is the safe bet if you are buying the ticket from the bus

    • @AleksiHimself

      I've never seen that one can buy tickets to local buses. In long distance buses you can tho.

    Hi there guys, I’m from malaysia here, maybe planning to go to Rovaniemi for solo travelling since I haven’t been travel for 2 years.
    Few questions here:
    1. May I ask that if I’m travelling to Finland with just cash without any debit or credit card , would it be ok? As I’m just a teenager, just travelling with cash , haven’t own a debit or credit card yet.
    2. What type of buses u can get from Rovaniemi airport to Rovaniemi city ? Also I saw the Airport express buses has been temporarily halted their operations too .
    3. If I on board the bus in Rovaniemi like example from Rovaniemi bus station to the Arctic glass igloo village bus station , can I pay with cash directly to the driver , without using any credit or debit card?

    I've been in Finland for over 3 weeks. I've only seen the inspectors once so far. A local Finn said if you don't have a valid ticket, you can just get off right before you see the inspectors get on. She also said that if you don't have a European ID number, you can just throw the ticket into the trash because they can't get you. Is either of this true? (In Sweden this is what some people do)

    • @AleksiHimself
      @AleksiHimself  5 років тому

      To be honest I don't know how it works without EU ID. Evading the inspectors is still against the rules.

    Question about travelling by bus. Do people wait in line to get in? First one waiting gets in first.
    Here people just almost push and sneak up before other people to get in first.
