Stops of the replacement buses

The buses will stop only at the stops close to train stations.

Pohjois-Haaga
Kannelmäki

  • On 11 May, bus 48 will serve between Kannelmäki and Pohjois-Haaga station. At the station passengers going to Helsinki can change to M train. Bus 42 goes to Kamppi and bus 43 to Elielinaukio. As there is no road access along the rail line, northbound journeys from Kannelmäki will be somewhat difficult.  For example, passengers going to Myyrmäki need to change from bus 48 to bus 499 at the Pohjois-Haaga station. Alternatively, buses 452 and 453 run in the direction of Myyrmäki and Martinlaakso from Hämeenlinnanväylä.

Tickets

On buses 499, 48 and 49, all HSL’s tickets are accepted as usual. Also VR’s tickets are accepted on the replacement buses. However, VR’s tickets are not sold on the buses. If you are traveling by train outside the HSL area, you will be able to buy a ticket only once onboard the train.

As the Kehruutie bus stop on Korutie will replace the northern entrance of the Malminkartano station, it will belong to the Helsinki fare zone although it is located in Vantaa.

On the buses, the space available for prams and pushchairs is limited.  Bicycles are not allowed on buses.
