Matkahuolto Matkat is a Finnish multimodal mobility application that makes public transport simple by bringing buses, trains, local transport, and ferry services together in a single platform. The app enables users to plan complete door-to-door journeys, compare route options, and purchase all required tickets through one seamless transaction. Ferry connections between Finland, Sweden, Estonia, and Åland are also integrated into the service, extending mobility beyond national borders. The solution demonstrates Finland’s leadership in Mobility as a Service (MaaS), making sustainable travel easier, more accessible, and more connected.
One App for Door-to-Door Travel
The Matkat app simplifies travel planning by allowing users to search routes from their starting point all the way to their final destination. Instead of navigating multiple booking systems, travellers can purchase the required tickets in one transaction and manage their journey through a single digital interface. The service supports long-distance and local public transport across Finland while also integrating international ferry connections.
Extending Mobility Beyond Borders
A recent enhancement to the platform enables the purchase of ferry tickets connecting Finland with Sweden, Estonia, and Åland. Travellers can combine maritime and land-based transport services into one itinerary, making cross-border travel more convenient and accessible. The integration demonstrates how digital platforms can help connect transport networks across the Baltic Sea region and support sustainable mobility choices.
Innovation Impact
Matkahuolto Matkat showcases how digital integration can improve the user experience of public transport. By combining multiple operators and transport modes into a single platform, the solution reduces travel friction, encourages the use of shared and sustainable mobility services, and supports seamless multimodal journeys. The application reflects Finland’s internationally recognised leadership in Mobility as a Service and demonstrates how digital innovation can connect people, services, and regions more effectively.
