Student status on travel card

It’s also time to update your student status on your travel card.

The right to discount is valid from the beginning of the autumn term till the end of August next year; for those who finish their studies in the autumn, the discount right is valid till the end of December the same year. The right to discount has to be renewed annually at a service point.

If a student does not renew their right to discount, they can only load their travel card with normal priced period and value tickets from September 1st on.

You can renew your student status in HSL’s service points or in temporary service point in Otaniemi:
