Muotitettu

Muotitettu is a Finnish term referring to a type of prepaid ticket or travel card used for public transportation in various cities and regions in Finland. The muotitettu ticket is typically a paper or digital ticket that is purchased before boarding public transportation, such as buses and trains, and stamped or validated for each journey.

The muotitettu ticket system is used by public transportation authorities in different cities and regions to manage and monitor ticket sales and usage. The prepay ticket model is designed to reduce paper waste and make it easier for passengers to pay for their fares. When purchasing a muotitettu ticket, the passenger pays a certain amount, which is usually tied to a specific number of trips.

Each time a passenger boards a public transportation vehicle, they must validate their ticket by stamping it at the ticket machine. The ticket is then checked by transport staff at random or during traffic stops to ensure that it has been validly stamped. Failure to validate the ticket may result in a fine.

Regional variations of muotitettu ticket systems exist in different parts of Finland, often with additional features or restrictions. While the muotitettu ticket is no longer as widely used as in the past, it remains an important part of the country's history and an example of prepay ticketing in public transportation systems.
