Travel Card
Will registering benefit me?
When you register, you will create a user account where you can see all of your personal information and all of the Waltti services available to you. You can use the account to connect cards to your profile, for example. Once a card is connected to a user account, the card can be loaded directly and there is no need to separately add it. You can also view previous purchases using your account. When logged in, you can also add or remove cards from your account and change your e-mail address or password.
What cards can I load on the web shop?
You can load all personal or multi-user Waltti travel cards on the web shop.
Why doesn’t a product I loaded onto the card show on the bus card reader?
A loaded product will be transferred to the travel card once the loading has been successfully activated on a bus card reader or at a service point. On average, the purchase takes around two hours to activate on the selected region’s public transport buses, but in some exceptional cases it can take 1-3 days for the information to be transferred to the vehicles. You can check the terms and conditions of the online loading service to find out the length of the delay in your area.
There is also a delay in updating use of the Waltti travel card on the web shop.
Can I order a new travel card on the web shop?

How long does it take for the card to be delivered?
