Finnish local public transport is
efficient, reliable, safe and on time. Helsinki boasts
a network of trains, buses, trams and an underground
which make a car almost redundant!
Most Finnish cities have dedicated
Web sites (ex. http://www.helsinki.fi); these sites
are increasingly available in English (as well as Finnish
and Swedish) and often feature such information as public
transport timetables, route maps, and tourist maps. If
public transport information for your city is not listed
below, try typing http://www.yourcity.fi in the
address bar of your browser. Hyväá matka!
