Due to the Tuska Festival in Suvilahti and a concert at the Olympic Stadium on Saturday 2 July, the Metro operating hours will be extended and certain K and P trains will have extra carriages on Friday and Saturday nights 1–2 July. Both Suvilahti and the Olympic Stadium can be easily accessed by public transport from several directions.
Additionally, we will also add extra carriages to certain L trains and additional services for certain buses that run near the Olympic Stadium on Saturday night.
All the additional services are also available in the Journey Planner.
Extended Metro operating hours
The Metro will be running approximately two hours longer than usual on Friday and Saturday nights.
The Metro services will run every 15 minutes on lines M1 and M2 until the end of service, meaning that the Metro will run every 7.5 minutes at night between Matinkylä and Itäkeskus. Services to and from Mellunmäki will run all the way to Matinkylä at night. However, the last service from Mellunmäki (at 0.57am) will run only to Tapiola.
The last Metro services
The last services from the termini will leave on both nights from Mellunmäki at 0.57am, from Vuosaari at 1.05am and from Matinkylä at 1.34am.
In other words, the Metro will run from the Central Railway Station to Mellunmäki until 1.46am and to Vuosaari until 1.54am. The Metro will run from the Central Railway Station to Matinkylä until 1.26am. From Kalasatama, the Metro will run to Mellunmäki until 1.52am and to Vuosaari until 2.00am.

Suvilahti and the Olympic Stadium can be easily accessed by public transport
Both Suvilahti and the Olympic Stadium can be easily accessed by public transport from several directions.
How to get to Suvilahti
The easiest way to get to Suvilahti is by using the Metro and getting off at the Kalasatama Metro Station. The distance between the metro station and the festival gates at the junction of Koksikatu and Leonkatu is about 100 meters.
NB! Bus route 738 that normally serves Koksikatu has been diverted due to the festival in Kalasatama from 23 June to 5 July. Instead of the terminus on Koksikatu, the bus will run to Panimokatu and stop at bays 5 and 6 at the station. Read more in a separate release

All buses departing from Elielinaukio and between the Central Railway Station and Postitalo serve the “Töölön kisahalli” stop.
