Can some of you guys tell me what's the cheapest way to get from Helsinki to Lahti? Train? Bus? Is there any site where I can see the prices and timetables for the busses? I only found one for the railway..
Thanks!!!!

I found some info on the busses through http://www.matkahuolto.fi/english/index.html

Quickly scrolling the pages I saw that the trip might cost something like 11-12 euros (with a studentcard 6-7e), and the train quite the same. So it's kinda up to you to decide which way to travel, even the traveling time is almost the same since Lahti ain't that far away.

Hope this helped a bit.

Hitch-hiking?
Isnt't there a finnish variant on http://www.taxistop.be ??
The part of the site you need is called Eurostop, so I guess there is one for Finland too...

Thanks!!

I looked for the train yesterday and I saw Helsinki-Lahti (only one way) for about 17 or 20 Euros which is not very little. What about that student card? Do you know if I can get if for student price if I'm not studying in Finland? (for Germany it's not really working..) Should I have a kind of international student card?

mno that's mainly for getting from one place in europe to another, not really inside countries.

but there's somewhere a site though for inside finland hiking... sorry i can't remember (crack?)
and they once told me you can go to the airport and get very cheap last minute tickets for inside finland... but again... i don't know

there's a dover-calais promo for 1 euro though, i 'll do some coasts and harbours after my exams... far enough.

I just found something on that bus-site:

"Student discount

- minimum one way journey 80 km
- 50 % discount on the price of a one way ticket
- available to persons carrying Matkahuolto's student card or a student organisation card that has the Matkahuolto logo, and to cadets carrying an identity card of the Defence Forces"

 

[siderea]

they never accepted my student card either in finland, perhaps you can try to find a finnish girl who looks like you

Ok, I checked the site and they don't approve ISIC-card (isn't that like international student -card? I don't know 'cause I don't study )
but the cheapest train I found was 11,80 euro, which I think ain't _that_ expensive anymore. But there's this thing called 'green departures' which means there's some trains where buying the ticket in advance will give you 15% off the price: http://www.vr.fi/heo/eng/aika/aikataulut.htm (click the 'green dep.' on the left). I found three or four daily departures that go through Lahti.

Since they're not the slowest (= cheapest) trains - the ones which cost that 11,80e - I ain't sure how much the discount would be in the end.

Thanks!! I will check the link later!

Whoah boy, I'm gettin a bit nervous here. I was just phoned that my place in a bus from Tallinn to Lithuania has been confirmed. Tomorrow morning I'm going to exams for a school I've applyed to and after that I'll take a boat to Estonia and continue forward by a night-bus.

Oh how exciting

If I ever get to Greece, is there going to be some welcoming committee with orchestra and that?
