Helsinki public transport question

[tavastia]

What is not fair is the fact you don't pay how much you use, there shall be smaller zones as is not fair to pay the same price if you are just crossing the zones, e.g. from Tikkurila to Puistola is the same price like from Vuosaari to Espoon keskus...

Check how is done in Singapore, the same "matkakortti" system, you read it when you go into the bus/metro/etc and when you go out. You pay exactly how much you travel. If you forget to read it when you go out you pay the price to the end of that line.

The obvious solution would be to have overlapping zones, say, having the last stop of all those commuter lines in Espoo and Vantaa be part of both their zones and the Helsinki zone, and have the first stop in Helsinki be part of the Helsinki zone as well as the Espoo or Vantaa zone as the case may be.

That, or special zones for commuting to downtown from outside Ring I/Ring III (depending on where they want to configure the zones) where you can buy the daily commute along a particular line and then pay separately for other stuff.

Iirc the new system will have two zones in the basic ticket and you'll pay extra if you need three or more zones.
