Which routes are included in the VR commuter traffic area and which belong to the HSL area?

VR’s commuter traffic encompasses traffic operated with commuter trains with line IDs in areas from Helsinki to Kotka and Nokia. VR’s commuter traffic tickets are not valid on VR’s long-distance trains.

Tickets for the HSL area are bought according to the HSL zones. The HSL area is divided into four zones, identified by the letters A, B, C and D, spreading out from the centre of Helsinki.
