Choose your ticket type
If you are visiting Rovaniemi briefly, we recommend buying single tickets or 24-hour tickets. In case you plan to stay longer or you live in Rovaniemi and use the buses on a regular basis, travelling is always cheaper with a value ticket or a season ticket.
Single ticket
You can purchase single tickets on the bus in cash or with the most common debit/credit cards. The ticket allows you to transfer from one vehicle to another within 60 minutes.
You can also purchase single tickets using the Waltti Mobile app or Waltti ticket machine. The validity of these tickets starts from the moment of purchase.
24-hour ticket
You can purchase 24-hour tickets at the Osviitta Service Point (Koskikatu 19). The ticket is valid for 24 hours from the moment of activation on the bus.
You can also purchase 24-hour tickets using Waltti Mobile app or Waltti ticket machine. The validity of these tickets starts from the moment of purchase.
Value ticket
Value ticket requires a Waltti travel card, which can be bought at Osviitta or online. You can load the card with a certain amount of money, for example 20 euros. The sum will be spent as the card is used. The ticket allows you to transfer from one vehicle to another within 60 minutes.
Season ticket
Season ticket requires a Waltti travel card, which can be bought at the Osviitta service point or online (waltti.fi). The ticket is valid from the moment of first activation on the bus.
You can also purchase season ticket using Waltti Mobile app. The app requires registration before purchase. The validity of mobile season ticket starts from the moment of purchase.
Season ticket allows you to travel as much as you want for 30 days.
If you live outside the Waltti local transport area and need to travel to the centre of the city regularly, the cheapest option is to buy a Matkahuolto’s ticket that lets you travel 44 times within 60 days. The ”Rovaniemi 44 matkan sarjalippu” ticket will only be available for purchase and use in the Matkahuolto’s Trips and Tickets app.
Travel zones
The price of a bus trip depends on the number of zones in which you travel during a trip. Local buses operate in two zones (A and B) in Rovaniemi. The centre of the city, University of Lapland and Santa Claus Village (Arctic Circle) belong to zone A. If you travel from the city centre to Muurola, you need
a two-zone ticket (AB).
You can check the borders of your own travel area in this map.
