We move from compulsory face mask use to a mask recommendation on 7 Mar

As the society opens up and restrictions are being lifted, we've decided to move from compulsory face mask use to a mask recommendation on all VR's long-distance and commuter (D-, G-, M-, O-, R-, T- and Z-trains) trains from today Mar 7 2022 onwards. We still advise all passengers to wear a face mask during their journey.

The compulsory use of face masks on VR's trains is being lifted on 7 Mar 2022. After this passengers can decide whether or not to wear a mask when they travel on the train. However, VR still recommends mask use during your journey. The staff working on the train continues the use of face masks during this period. The mention of of face mask use being compulsory will be removed from our travel terms with a delay.

You can get more privacy and room for your journey by booking a cabin for 2-6 persons or booking an empty seat next to yours.
