NEWS Helsinki transport network Helsingin Kaupungin Liikennelaitos (HKL) is testing a mobile payment system for its public transport this weekend. The system, based on mobile service company Plusdial's technology, allows passengers to pay for their fares by SMS messages sent directly to HKL. The passenger is then sent an SMS which acts as a ticket for a single journey. HKL said it is trying to make the payment systems for public transport more efficient. The price of a single ticket remains the same and does not require extra effort from the user.
