A travel card can simultaniously hold two season tickets: an active season ticket and a pending season ticket. The new season ticket is put into service when the previous one has expired and you scan the ticket on the bus. An unactivated season ticket will expire within two years of the moment of purchase. If the travel card has an unactivated season ticket, you can buy another pending season ticket on hold for when you have put the season ticket already on the card into service.
-
If you have a valid season ticket in use, you cannot expand your travel area by purchasing an additional zone ticket as an extension for the season ticket. If your trip extends outside the zones of your season ticket, buy a single ticket that is valid for all zones your trip extends to.
A single ticket is the cheapest when you pay for it with your travel card value or with contactless payment.
-
If your trip differs from the default zones selected on your travel card, or if you travel on OSL buses using another city’s Waltti travel card, do the following:
- Push the “Poikkeusmatka” button on the bus ticket device
- Select the zones
- Scan your card with the ticket device
-
You can use the value loaded onto your travel card to buy a single ticket for yourself and for the person you are travelling with. The price of a single ticket purchased with value is based on the customer group on your travel card. An adult’s travel card can be used to buy a single ticket for adult, and a child’s travel card can be used to buy a single ticket for a child.

A personal travel card can be cancelled, and a valid ticket and value can be transferred to a new card for a service fee of 6,00 euros. A set-up fee of 3,60 euros is charged for setting up a new card at the ticket sales point. You can order a new blank card free of charge in the online store.

You can view your travel card’s balance, tickets and default zones in the online store. The bus ticket device shows the value remaining on the card after scanning it. You can also inquire about the balance and information on your card from OSL’s customer service and Oulu10 service point.

You can use the value loaded onto your OSL travel card to buy a single ticket in public transport in other cities that are part of the Waltti ticket system network as well.

If you receive school transportation subsidy from Kela or you or your child has received a travel card from school, acquire another travel card for free time travels.
-
If a personal travel card has been handed over to another person’s use, for example an adult uses a child’s card, the driver has the right to take the travel card away from the customer. You can inquire about your card from Oulu10 service point at earliest three days after the repossession of the card. No compensation is paid for the period of repossession.
