Travelling around the area - bus cards and prices

The monthly bus card is 36 Euros and with this card you can travel all around Turku and even take the night buses during the weekend. 

By waving to the bus driver when standing at a bus stop you show him/her that you want to get on the bus. If you don't do so the bus just passes and you are wondering why the bus hasn't stopped. I am glad, I had been informed about this tradition before and so always got onto the bus.

I even found out that the card cover is reflective to make you be seen by the bus driver in the evening as well. Evertime you get on the bus you have to show your bus card.

I think I will take the opportunity to get to other cities as well and travel to Tampere, Rauma and other cities in Finland by bus. At the orientation we were informed that with the Student Card Certificate which is about 8€ we get up to 50% reduction on long-distance trains and busses.
