Proposed route network for West Helsinki 

The West Helsinki Route Network Plan is now ready to be submitted for approval. HSL’s Executive Board will decide on the route network plan on 26 May 2026.

The proposed route network submitted for approval is largely the same as in the initial draft plan, but some adjustments have been made based on the survey we conducted on the draft plan. You can read more about the route network below.

According to current information, the tramway infrastructure will be completed in phases, allowing changes to tram and bus routes to be introduced during 2029–2031.

 

 

 

Changes based on customer insight

We conducted a thorough review of existing customer insight, as well as the results and open responses from surveys and workshops conducted during the planning process. The customer insight provided a great deal of valuable information and useful perspectives for refining and improving the route network plan.

In the planning process, our goal is to find solutions that serve as many people as possible while remaining within the limits set by costs and other planning constraints. The final outcome always requires balancing different options and making choices between alternatives. Unfortunately, it is not possible to implement individual requests.

However, based on customer insights, and particularly, the results of the survey on the draft plan, we were able to make a few changes to the proposed route network within the existing constraints.
