Efficient public transport allows for a dense urban structure, reduces congestion on streets and roads, and decreases the negative impact of traffic. Espoo aims to increase the proportion sustainable modes of transport account for of all trips made by Espoo residents. To achieve this goal, Espoo is implementing new rail connections and planning housing, workplaces and services close to good public transport connections.

Espoo’s goals regarding key public transport connections of the future are defined in the target networks of public transport. You can learn more about the connections for which planning or construction is underway on the project pages. 

Streets used by public transport, stop locations and connections to the stops are planned in connection with city planning. Plans are specified during street and construction planning. The lines and timetables of public transport are designed by HSL.
