Changes planned together with residents
The municipality of Kirkkonummi asked HSL to make changes to the bus services after the opening of the Metro line to Espoo and changes to the bus routes from Kirkkonummi to Helsinki. In autumn 2018, HSL studied the residents’ travel habits and set up a resident panel to discuss the route network plans. HSL also had a blog where residents were able to comment on the planned changes.
