Passenger numbers have not yet been limited on public transport in the Helsinki region, but we will inform our passengers immediately, should the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom decide to limit passengers numbers in the HSL area.
In anticipation of the potential restrictions, we are now starting to publish the latest estimates of the occupancy rate on HSL public transport on weekdays. We get the estimates with a delay of two days. At the moment, we get figures for metro services. We will try to provide figures also for other modes of transport where possible.
According to our latest observations, on average 90 per cent of passenger wear a face mask.
