The commuting benefit encourages environmentally friendly choices

The commuting benefit is a tax-free fringe benefit that encourages to use public transport or other environmental friendly ways to travel. Using public transport increases the amount of walking or cycling, which promotes employees activity. The commuting benefit not only makes the employees' everyday life easier, but also encourages them to be more active in everyday life. It also communicates your company's values.

The benefits of the commuting benefit can be seen e.g. as more stress-free work trips, environmentally friendly choices, increased functional exercise and direct cost savings for both employer and employee.

How and where does the commuter benefit work?

The commuting benefit is intended for the journey between the apartment and the workplace. However, the use of the ticket has no restrictions on the number of trips or the time of day.

The benefit works with a virtual Edenred Transport payment card, which can be added to Apple Pay and Google Pay, and connected to the HSL and VR Matkalla mobile applications.

Virtual payment card works for numerous public transport services by adding it to Apple Pay or Google Pay. You can load your local transport travel card with your commuting benefit at e.g. R-kiosks and at Matkahuolto and HSL offices. In addition, at R-kiosks you can buy all VR commuter tickets and long-distance one-time tickets with the commuting benefit.
