- New bus route 554 will start running along Ring I between Westendinasema, Pitäjänmäki and Itäkeskus, providing a direct bus service between Pitäjänmäki and Itäkeskus also on weekends
- Service frequency of all tram routes will increase from every 12 minutes to every 10 minutes on Saturdays
There will also be changes and improvements to services elsewhere in the HSL area. You can read more about all the changes here.
