"Kansaneläkelaitos" and "Töölön kisahalli" bus stops to be relocated on 13 December

The "Kansaneläkelaitos" and "Töölön kisahalli" bus stops will be relocated on Friday 13 December. There are also changes to the bus stops near the Opera junction. The relocation is due to changes to traffic arrangements related to the renovation of Mannerheimintie. The arreangements also affect pedestrian routes and locations of pedestrian crossings.

"Kansaneläkelaitos" bus stops

Both "Kansaneläkelaitos" bus stops will be relocated. The stop for northbound buses (H1917) will be moved about 150 meters towards the city center, close to the Nordenskiöldinkatu junction.

The stop for buses in the direction of the city center (H1916) will be moved about 150 meters backward in the direction of travel to the other side of the Stenbäckinkatu junction.

The stops are served by bus routes 40, 200, 300, 231N, 235N, 280, 285, 321, 345(N), 415N, 431(B, N), 436N, 455(A), 456A, 457, 464 and 465(B).

"Töölön kisahalli" bus stops

The "Töölön kisahalli" stop for northbound buses (H1915) will be moved about 450 meters towards the city center, next to the Töölö Sports Hall. The "Kansaneläkelaitos" stop might be a better option for some passengers. 

The "Töölön kisahalli" stop for buses in the direction of the city center (H1914) will be moved back to its original location by the curb.

The stops are served by bus routes 40, 200, 300, 231N, 235N, 280, 285, 321, 345(N), 415N, 431(B, N), 436N, 455(A), 456A, 457, 464 and 465(B).
