Transportation

Helsinki has an excellent public transport system (HSL) comprising bus, tram, metro, commuter train and ferry services. With a single ticket you can hop aboard trams, buses, the metro and even the municipal ferry to Suomenlinna. You can even change from one mode of transport to another as long as your ticket is still valid. Single tickets can be purchased using the HSL mobile app or from HSL ticket machines, R-kiosks and other HSL sales points. You can not buy a ticket from the driver.

A day ticket is handy if you plan to make several journeys during one day or several days. You can buy a ticket for 1–13 days. Day tickets can be purchased using the HSL mobile app or from HSL ticket machines and sales points in Helsinki Central Station. Other sales points include R-kiosks and many shops. One-day tickets (24 hours) can be purchased also from HSL ticket machines; these tickets are printed out and valid immediately upon payment.

The HSL public transport region is divided into four zones identified by the letters A, B, C and D starting from the city centre. To get around in Helsinki you need to buy a AB ticket, if you plan to travel by train from the airport to city center you need to purchase a ABC ticket.

Purchase a ticket for all the zones in which you plan to travel. If you plan to travel in zones A, B and C, you will need an AB, BC or ABC ticket, as there are no one-zone tickets for zones A, B and C. The online Journey Planner notifies which ticket you need together with the search results. As destination put Arcada UAS. The address is Jan-Magnus Janssonin aukio 1.

Arcada (Jan-Magnus Janssonin aukio 1) can be reach from the city centre by taking tram 6 to Arabia, buses 55, 71, 75, 77, 78. The bus or tram stop is called Kumpulan campus.
