Parking at Pasila station will be subject to a charge, and Europark will operate as of 9.9.2024. As a result of the change, the taxi area will be reserved for the contract taxi companies Taksi Helsinki and Lähitaksi. There are still free 15-minute pick-up and drop-off parking spaces in the area. Parking is chargeable 15 minutes after arrival.
As of 9.9.2024, the taxi area at Pasila Station will be reserved for taxis operated by Taksi Helsinki and Lähitaksi. The change is based on customers’ wish for clearer taxi services.
In addition, there are marked 15-minute pick-up and drop-off points in the area. Pasila station is one of the busiest railway stations in Finland, so to ensure smooth pick-up and drop-off parking, parking spaces are reserved only for short-term stops. At pick-up and drop-off points for a time exceeding 15 minutes, the parking fee is 7 €/15 min. There are plenty of spaces for long-term parking in the Tripla parking garage, which has 1 hour of free parking.
In the future, the area will be operated by Europark, which will also operate Triplaparkki (parking garage). There is a license plate reader in the area, based on which parking starts and ends. If the parking time (15 minutes) is exceeded, the easiest way to pay for the excess is via the Autopay app or within 48 hours of the end of parking at www.autopay.io. You can also pay for parking with the EasyPark and ParkMan apps (the applications must be started upon arrival in the area). If parking is not paid with any of the above payment methods, an invoice will be sent based on the registration number (an invoicing fee of 5 € will be added to the invoice).
Instructions for taxis of contract taxi companies:
- Download the Autopay Park & Charge app to your phone or register as a user on the website www.autopay.io
- Add a payment card to your registered account (online payment must be allowed on the payment card)
- Add the vehicle registration number to your registered account and turn on automatic charging
The contract taxi company reports the registration numbers of the contract taxis to EuroPark’s system and the system thus identifies the contract tax.
