Five minutes slower than the P for the same price. Take it only if it is leaving first — by the time the next P arrives you would still be ahead.

It does not go through Tikkurila from the airport; for long-distance trains that is the P.

Its last departure is around midnight, an hour to two before the P's.

Same ABC ticket, same two prices: EUR 4.50 on the app, EUR 4.80 at the machine or by tapping a card.

This is the night answer. Between the last train at 01:22 (02:22 at weekends) and the first at 04:52 it is the way into the city, every 20 to 30 minutes, for the same EUR 4.50.

By day it is slower than either train: HSL's timetable gives 51 to 66 minutes against Finavia's "approximately 40", which is the night running time.

It stops for 28 minutes on weekday mornings (03:54 to 04:22) and about an hour on Saturday and Sunday mornings (03:54 to about 05:00).

It ends at Rautatientori, the bus square beside the station, not inside it; for Pasila take a train.

The ABC ticket again — the bus crosses the same zone boundary as the train.
