Direct fare
When the journey includes a change of bus, the direct fare for pre-purchased tickets on journeys exceeding 80 km is priced on the whole journey. The direct fare for the whole journey is cheaper than tickets purchased separately for each leg of the journey. The tickets with changes sold on our buses are mainly only valid on our services.
Pets
Ordinary pets can be transported on board our buses accompanied by a person who takes responsibility for the pet, and as long as there is room on the bus. Pets must be placed so that there is minimal disturbance to other passengers. Pets must not be placed on seats, and they must be kept on leash. There is no separate cost for transporting pets. Allergic passengers travelling on the bus have the right to choose their seat first. However, fellow passengers do not have the right to prevent guide dogs from travelling on the bus.
Luggage
Any normal luggage (a maximum of two suitcases), skis and pushchairs are free-of-charge on our services. A freight charge is applied on goods not listed above.
Bikes
Bikes are transported at passengers’ own risk and if there is sufficient room for them. Depending on the distance, the cost for transporting a bike is between €4 and €10.
Freight goods
Matkahuolto’s parcel service provides national transport solutions. The speed and security of deliveries is based on the scheduled and frequent nation-wide bus network. More than 20,000 scheduled departures daily and approximately 500 Matkahuolto service points across the country guarantee that parcels reach their destination quickly. If there is no Matkahuolto service point in the area, the parcel can be taken directly to the bus.
