Switch to winter timetables on 15 August – changes to several routes

Helsinki region public transport will switch to winter timetables on 15 August. There will be changes to several routes. The biggest changes to bus routes will take place in Lauttasaari. In North Espoo, route numbers will change. Changes will take place also in other parts of the HSL area.

Up-to-date timetable information is always available in the Journey Planner (reittiopas.fi). Use the timetable search to get stop-specific timetables for your routes and stops.
In addition, printed timetable leaflets for each route are available onboard and at service points. HSL does not public an autumn timetable booklet.

Contrary to previous plans, bus routes in South Espoo will remain mostly unchanged because the Metro extension from Ruoholahti to Matinkylä is delayed. Bus routes will change in Lauttasaari but there will be direct bus links to Espoo, Kamppi and the city center also in the future.
