sähkölippu

Sähkölippu, meaning "electric ticket" in Finnish, refers to a digital or electronic ticket primarily used for public transportation in Finland. It represents a modern alternative to traditional paper tickets, offering convenience and efficiency for passengers. Sähkölippu is typically purchased and stored on a mobile device, such as a smartphone, or can be accessed through a dedicated ticketing app or a customer account on a public transport operator's website.

The system often involves QR codes or other unique identifiers that are scanned by validators on buses, trams, or trains, or presented to inspectors upon request. This eliminates the need for physical ticket printing and reduces the risk of lost or damaged tickets. Sähkölippu can encompass various fare types, including single tickets, day passes, and season tickets, tailored to different travel needs. The implementation of sähkölippu aims to streamline the ticketing process, improve passenger flow, and contribute to more sustainable transport solutions by reducing paper waste. Its adoption varies across different public transport regions and operators within Finland, but it is becoming increasingly prevalent as part of smart city initiatives.
