Wheelchair users

If you are using a wheelchair or a mobility scooter, you can travel on HSL public transport for free.

Tips for travel

Manual or electric wheelchair

FLIRT commuter trains have doors with sliding steps that bridge the gap between the train and the platform. The doors are marked with a wheelchair symbol. The step slides out when you press the button marked with a wheelchair logo.

On buses, the weight capacity of the ramps is 300 kilograms.

If you are a wheelchair user and you need to use Park & Ride facilities, you need an HSL card with a valid free ticket. Read more

Mobility scooters

You can take a mobility scooter with separate handlebars on the metro, commuter trains and the Suomenlinna ferry but not on buses and trams or light rail line 15 because the scooters are heavy and they do not fit in the space reserved for wheelchairs.

On trains, mobility scooters can only be carried if used by a person with reduced mobility as an aid.

If you are travelling with a mobility scooter, you do not have to show your ticket or buy one.

Companion Pass

If you are unable to travel alone on public transport due to a chronic disease or disability, you may be entitled to a companion.
