How to use your Edenred Transport benefit

Forget searching for parking, paying parking fees and sitting in traffic. With Edenred’s commuting benefit, you can pay for public transport tickets and make the most of the benefit provided by your employer, both in your everyday life and in your free time!

What can you use Edenred Transport for?

Buses, trams, local and long-distance trains, metros, ferries… The full range of public transport is just one employee benefit away!

Edenred Transport is intended for travel between home and work, but its use isn’t limited to a specific time or place. You can also use it for leisure travel. The commuting benefit is a personal employee benefit, so it can only be used to pay for your own journeys.

The benefit works with a virtual Transport card, which you can add as a payment method in several public transport apps. You can use your benefit to top up local travel card at places such as R-kioski, and pay for personal travel tickets by adding your card as a payment method in apps such as HSL, VR Matkalla, Nysse Mobiili and Waltti Mobiili. Be sure to check which payment methods are accepted by the retailer before purchasing your ticket!
