There will be many changes to bus routes in West Helsinki as well as changes to crosstown bus routes at the start of the autumn timetable season, 16 August.
Bus route 51 will be withdrawn.
A new weekday bus route, 53 (Arabia – Oulunkylä – Metsälä – Pohjois-Haaga – Pitäjänmäki – Uusmäki), will provide alternative service from Metsälä to Konala.The new route 53 in the Journey Planner
In Konala and Malminkartano, rerouted bus 59 will replace bus route 51. The terminus of bus route 59 will move from Pajamäki to Malminkartano. The bus will start running more frequently. The bus will also run on Sundays.
New route of bus 59 in the Journey Planner
Journeys from Pohjois-Haaga to Kallio will in the future require transfers. For example, the new trunk bus route 40 will link with tram 3 at Töölöntulli. As tram route 3 is still diverted, changing from trunk bus 40 to tram 3 will be possible from 30 August. Use the Journey Planner to find new links.
Trunk bus route 550 will resume its normal route via Eliel Saarisen tie in Haaga in winter 2021.
