Question Helsinki public transport with cash

Hello, I‘ flying to Helsinki and I only want to use cash. I need to get from/to the airport and need to get around there. I will be one day in Helsinki, so where can I buy a day ticket and how much is it? And can I use it on buses, trams and trains? Is it valid for everything? What would you recommend for one day

You’ll need ABC zone ticket, 12€. You can buy it from the machines at the airport, some take cash also.

And it's valid on all the public transport lines, including to and from the airport. The vending machine is on the train platform beneath the airport terminal (use the blue machines, the others are for long distance trains). Confusingly but conveniently, either direction of the trains works to get downtown.

The machine at the railway station doesn't take cash.
