Zoneless fixed price system
The Oulu Regional Transport’s ticket and service prices and zone model has been renewed on December 17, 2024. Traveling is easier and clearer in the zoneless fixed price system.
Bus zones are history
The previous five zones have merged and there is only one public transportation region. The region covers the surrounding municipalities Ii, Kempele, Liminka, Lumijoki, Muhos, Tyrnävä and the city of Oulu.
Zoneless fixed price system has been taken into use in public bus transportation between Hailuoto and Oulu. Even though Hailuoto is not included in the OSL region, OSL tickets are valid on Hailuoto’s bus lines 59 and 59S as well.
With an OSL ticket, you can travel in the entire area during the ticket’s validity period. For example, during the 90-minute validity period of a single ticket, you can travel on as many buses as you wish.
