Anybody can buy a multi-user Waltti Travel Card, and it is suitable for shared use between family members or companies. The only information stored on the card is the age group: adult or child. Multi-user cards must be bought from the Oulu10 Service Point. You cannot cancel the card or transfer the ticket product to another card if the card is lost.
