I train via MyyrmäkiorP train and tram 7?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The I train via Myyrmäki reaches Helsinki Central Station (Rautatieasema), in fare zone A; the P train and tram 7 does not. This ends at Länsisatama, the West Harbour ferry terminals, not Helsinki Central Station. For the station itself, the P train alone is faster and needs no change.

The I train via Myyrmäki is quicker: 34 min against 44 min. The P train and tram 7 varies between 41 and 50 minutes.

I train via Myyrmäki: 04:59–00:04. P train and tram 7: 05:10–01:58.

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.

Trams 7 and 9 both leave Rautatientori for Länsisatama every few minutes between them — take whichever comes first.

Tram 9 runs a little later into the night than tram 7: about 01:58 against about 01:09.

The I train works as well as the P for this leg, just five minutes slower to Helsinki Central.

No extra fare: the ABC ticket already bought for the train covers the tram, inside its 90-minute validity.
