How does the Waltti online store work?

You can load value and season tickets onto your Waltti travel card and order a new card at http://waltti.fi/en. You can also top up your card in the Waltti online store without registering, simply by entering your card number and selecting your transport area. A registered user account can be linked to multiple cards.

How do I choose the zones?

When travelling within central Vaasa, select zones A–A. For travel to the Vähäkyrö area, select zones A–C. Season tickets only cover travel within the selected zones. However, you can travel outside these zones using the value loaded on your card. Please inform the driver, who will then select the correct zones and deduct the appropriate fare from your card.

Why doesn’t online top-up always activate immediately on the bus?

• Was the payment completed? A receipt is sent to your email once the payment is successful.
• Was the card loaded after 22.00? The data may not update in the ticketing system until the bus reaches the terminal stop the next morning.
• The card may be damaged, or a different card number might have been loaded online than the one you are using.
• Please note that purchases made online must be activated on the card within 30 days of purchase.

Can I share a Waltti card with my partner?

Waltti cards are personal. However, the value on a personal card can be used to pay for several people travelling in the same or a younger age group. For example, a parent can use their own card to pay for their child’s journey, but the fare will be charged at the adult rate.

What benefits does a personal Waltti card offer?

A personal card can be blocked if lost, preventing others from using it. Any unused value or trips can be transferred to a new card when the old one is blocked at a service point. A replacement card costs €5.

How can I check how much value or time is left on my card?

You can view the value/time of cards that are saved in the system in the Waltti online store. The card reader on the bus also shows the remaining value/time on the card.

Is the Waltti card valid on all bus lines in Vaasa?

The Waltti travel card is valid on public transport buses in the Vaasa region within zones A, B, and C.

How long is the value loaded onto the card valid?

The value loaded onto the card does not expire. The technical lifespan of a Waltti card is eight years, but the value itself does not expire and can be transferred to a new card.
