Baby carriages

You may travel free of charge with a child sitting in baby carriages or strollers. A person transporting an empty baby carriages or strollers or using them for transporting goods, has to buy a ticket.

An exception is traffic between Oulu and Hailuoto. On Hailuoto routes, the baby carriages are placed in the bus’s cargo compartment. Persons traveling with baby carriages must pay for their travel.

Here’s how to deal with the buses and carriages

Place the carriage on the right side facing forward behind the front seats. Keep the aisle clear so that everyone can move around the bus and exit the bus.

Travel safely and lock your carriage’s wheels and hold on to the carriage for the duration of your travel.

Never leave a child alone. The child must be in a stroller or carriage at all times for safety reasons.

When you get off the bus, first exit the vehicle yourself and pull the carriage out of the bus backwards while holding onto the handle of the carriage.

Bike trailers and stroller jogger models

It is not allowed to take kid’s bike trailers onto the bus. If the trailer’s shaft is detached or can be turned to the side, the trailer may be taken on the bus.

Stroller jogger models with a long front wheel may not be brought onto the bus. The length blocks the aisle. There must be sufficient space for strollers on the bus. For safety reasons, the center aisle must be kept clear.

The space for baby carriage is limited

Only a limited number of baby carriages fit inside the bus. If the bus is full, you cannot board with a baby carriage. The bus aisle must be kept clear so that passengers can move and exit the bus.

The bus driver has the right to refuse to let a traveler with a carriage aboard the bus if the carriage cannot be placed inside the bus safely due to a large number of passengers or baggage.

Baby slings and baby carriers

People traveling with children in baby slings or baby carriers must pay for their own travel. When the child is securely in the escort’s arms or tied to their body, the escort should enter the bus from the front door and pay for their travel before taking a seat. In these cases, there is no need to leave the child alone when paying for the trip.
