HSL marks the European Mobility Week with events and discounts on tickets on the Car Free Day, Monday 22 September. The Car Free Day culminates with an evening at the Linnanmäki Amusement Park and guided bus tours hosted by HSL.

The European Mobility Week 16 – 22 September encourages people to think about their daily mobility choices and their impacts on their wellbeing, the environment and society. HSL’s strategic goal is to direct the increase in traffic to public transport, walking and cycling and to make sustainable modes of transport more attractive.
