How to buy HSL tickets?

HSL app

HSL card

Top up your HSL card with a season ticket or value to buy single tickets at card readers. You can top up your card at the online Ticket Store or at sales and service points.

Contactless payment

Buy adult single tickets easily with contactless payment on board or at a station. When you buy several adult single tickets within 24 hours using the same payment method, the total amount you pay is automatically capped at the price of the day ticket that covers your journeys.

Top up your HSL card at the Ticket Store

You can top up your HSL card online at the HSL Ticket Store anytime, anywhere. 

Paper single and day tickets

You can buy single and day tickets at sales points as well as at the HSL and municipal service points. Additionally, companies and groups can order tickets in advance. The tickets include a QR code that must be shown to card readers.

Visit a sales or service point

At sales and service points, you can top up your HSL card and purchase single and day tickets. At the HSL and municipal service points, you can also purchase a new HSL card and manage other HSL card-related issues.
