Some of OSL’s ticket prices will increase as of 1 June 2026. The increase applies to single tickets, day tickets, and adult and senior season tickets.
The price of an adult single ticket will rise by 30 cents, bringing the new price to 2,90 €. Single and day tickets for other customer groups will be increased in the same proportion. For example, the new price of a child’s single ticket will be 1,45 €. The prices of single tickets purchased in cash from the driver will remain unchanged.
The price of a 30 day season ticket for adults and seniors will increase by two euros, and the new price will be 64,00 €. The price of a 90 day season ticket for adults and seniors will increase by four euros, resulting in a new price of 172,00 €. Season ticket prices for other customer groups (children aged 7–16, young people aged 17–24, and students) will remain unchanged.
The new ticket prices will come into effect on Monday, 1 June 2026.
New contactless payment pay caps ensure fixed prices
In connection with the fare changes, OSL will introduce new 7 day and 30 day contactless payment pay caps and update the pricing of the existing contactless pay cap.
In the future, contactless pay caps will be priced in line with adult day and season tickets. For example, the price of the one day contactless pay cap will be the same as the price of an adult one day ticket. The pay caps will be the same for all customer groups.
The new pay caps and harmonised pricing mean that customers will be able to travel using contactless payment at fixed prices corresponding to a 7 day day ticket and a 30 day season ticket. In practice, during a 30 day period, journeys paid for with contactless payment will be charged up to a maximum of the price of a 30 day season ticket. Once the pay cap for the period in question – in this example 64,00 € – has been reached, the customer can travel using contactless payment free of charge for the remainder of the 30 day period.
As before, the pay cap will accumulate only when using the same contactless payment method, and contactless payment can be used to pay for only one passenger at a time.
Additional revenue for improving service levels
As a result of the fare adjustments, OSL’s ticket revenue is estimated to increase by approximately 1,5–2,3 million euros during 2026–2027. The additional revenue will enable further development of public transport service levels. The aim is to improve the smoothness, reliability, and overall travel experience across the entire region.
At the same time, the public transport subsidy rate is estimated to decrease from 52% to 49%, supporting financial balance and creating a sustainable basis for long-term development work.
OSL’s ticket prices were last adjusted in 2024 in connection with the transition to a flat fare system. Before that, ticket prices had not been revised for ten years, despite rising costs. With the current increases, ticket prices are being brought to a sustainable level that better reflects current costs.
