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.
