Pohjois-Leppävaara, Lintuvaara and Uusmäki

According to the draft route network plan, Pohjois-Leppävaara, Lintuvaara and Uusmäki would be served by four bus routes: 202, 203, 520 and 522.

Bus 520: temporary route

The establishment of trunk bus route 520 was decided in spring 2020. The route will start operating in fall 2023.

Trunk bus route 520 will likely run via Vihdintie, Vanha Hämeenkyläntie and Sotilastorpantie until the construction of the new Lintulaaksontie street is confirmed. The route via Sotilastorpantie would run as close to the final route as possible and would also improve links from Helmipöllönmäki to e.g. Matinkylä.

Service frequency at peak times / during the daytime / on Saturdays / on Sundays:
10/10/10/15

Runkolinja 520 kulkee ennen Lintulaaksontien jatkeen valmistumista väliaikaisesti Leppävaarasta Myyrmäkeen Uusmäen kautta reittiä Lintulaaksontie - Sotilastorpantie - Vanha Hämeenkyläntie - Vihdintie.

Bus 202: route change

According to the Route Network Plan for Hämeenlinnanväylä and Vihdintie, public transport services in Helmipöllönmäki will be based on trunk bus route 520, but residents in the area have voiced concern about connectivity to services along Lintuvaarantie. According to this plan, bus 202 would continue to follow its current route to the north of Leppävaara and would connect Helmipöllönmäki e.g. to the Monikko school center (Monday to Friday every 30 minutes).

Change to the route of bus 202: Leppävaara – Helmipöllönmäki. Between Leppävaara and Helmipöllönmäki, the route would not change, but the bus would no longer run to Vitikka. Bus 203 would run between Leppävaara and Vermonniitty. Bus 206 would run between Leppävaara and Vitikka.

Service frequency at peak times / during the daytime / on Saturdays / on Sundays:
30/30/-/-

Linjan 202 reitti lyhenee välille Leppävaaran asema - Helmipöllönmäki.

Bus 203: route change

Trunk bus route 520 will likely run via Vihdintie, Vanha Hämeenkyläntie and Sotilastorpantie until the construction of the new Lintulaaksontie street is confirmed. The route via Sotilastorpantie would run as close to the final route as possible and would also improve links from Uusmäki to e.g. Matinkylä.

Bus 23 would continue to serve the area between Leppävaara and Uusmäki. We propose to extend the route from Leppävaara via Säteri to Vermonniitty.

Change to the route of bus 203: Uusmäki – Leppävaara – Säteri – Vermonniitty. Between Leppävaara and Uusmäki, the route would not change. The route would replace the current route 202 between Leppävaara and Vermonniitty.

Service frequency at peak times / during the daytime / on Saturdays / on Sundays:
15/20/20/30

Linja 203 pitenee Leppävaaran asemalta Vermonniittyyn reittiä Hevosenkenkä – Leppävaarankatu - Albergan esplanadi – Säterinkatu – Itsehallintotie – Vermontie.

Bus 522: no changes

Mäkkylä

In Mäkkylä area, trains and trunk route bus 200 running along Turuntie will be the most important public transport links also in the future. Trunk bus route 520 will run to the north of Mäkkylä and the closest stops will be near the junction of Lintulaaksontie and Kutsuntatie. Buses 201 and 201B would continue to serve the area around Mäkkylä puistotie as currently. Once completed, light rail line 550 will run to the south of the railway line.

Bus route 201B: no changes

Bus route 201: no changes

Bus route 520: no changes

Perkkaa

Perkkaa would be served by bus routes 203 and 502 as well as by light rail line 550. Bus route 203 would provide transport links from Vermonniitty and Perkkaa to, e.g. the Monikko school center and Leppävaara Sports Park. The route would link with the light rail at Säteri, Vermo and Leppävaara station stops.

Bus 113 would no longer run via Perkkaa. Instead, it would run from Laajalahti via Retail Park Bredis and Friisinmäki to Leppävaara. New route 523 would provide fast transport links from Leppävaara to Tapiola via Ring Road I.

This plan does not propose changes to bus route 502.

Bus route 203: route change

Bus route 502: no changes

Bus route 523: new route

Etelä-Leppävaara and Säteri

Etelä-Leppävaara and Säteri would be served by light rail line 550 as well as by bus routes 113 and 206.

Bus route 113 would provide faster links from Friisinmäki and Etelä-Leppävaara to Leppävaara station as well as provide direct links to Retail Park Bredis and to Tapiola.

Bus route 206 would provide transport links between Leppävaara and Kera. Bus route 206K, which would run school times, would provide transport links from Kilo to Karamalmens skola. The route would replace the current school journey route 225K.
