HSL participates in Valio-Jukola also by offering free tickets for accredited participants of the competition. When as many people as possible use public transport during mass events, also the smooth flow of other traffic is ensured. Thanks to its good public transport services, the Helsinki metropolitan area is an attractive place for large events.
