Additional bus services to Seurasaari and changes to bus route 24

On Midsummer Eve, an additional bus service, 24S, will run to Seurasaari alongside bus 24.

Bus route 24 will be diverted throughout the summer. The bus runs from Kamppi via Munkkiniemi to Seurasaari along Paciuksenkatu, Ramsaynranta, Meilahdentie, Tamminiementie and Seurasaarentie. From Seurasaari to Kamppi, bus 24 runs along Merikannontie instead of Mechelininkatu.

On Midsummer Eve, bus 24S will provide additional services to Seurasaari. The bus will depart from bay 26 in Kamppi. It will otherwise follow the same route as bus 24 but will not run via Hietaniemi. The first service on route 24S will depart from Kamppi at 3.27pm, and the last service from Seurasaari will depart at 1.20am.
