For students who meet the criteria for a student discount, the Waltti value ticket is 30% cheaper than an adult value ticket. The student discount for a season ticket is 30% of the price of an adult season ticket. Check the prices from Tickets and prices. There is no student discount for single and mobile tickets or contactless payment.
You will need proof of identity (ID) when applying for a student discount. In addition to your ID, you will need either a student card issued to a full-time student or a student Waltti travel card application with an educational certificate.
