The Metro will switch to winter timetables on 14 August. At the same time, the timetables will also undergo changes.
When the Metro has switched to winter timetables, the service frequency will be as high as it has been in the summer during daytime, in the evening and early in the morning. However, during peak hours on weekdays, the Metro will run more frequently between Itäkeskus and Tapiola, as often as every 2.5 minutes.
Additional services on busiest days
In the future, the Metro will operate a more frequent service during peak hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Until now, the Metro has operated according to the same service frequency during peak hours on every weekday.
Weekday timetables that change depending on the day of the week make it possible to have more services on the busiest days when the number of passengers using the Metro is the highest.
- In the future, services will depart from Vuosaari, Mellunmäki and Kivenlahti every 5 minutes during peak hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. In other words, the Metro runs every 2.5 minutes between Itäkeskus and Tapiola during peak hours. Every other service will run on metro line M1 and every other on line M2.
- Correspondingly, services will depart from Vuosaari, Mellunmäki and Kivenlahti every 6 minutes during peak hours on Mondays and Fridays. In other words, the Metro will run every 3 minutes between Itäkeskus and Tapiola during peak hours. Every other service will run on metro line M1 and every other on line M2.
