Summer brings changes to the opening times of the services of the cities of Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen. During the holiday period, for example, public transport, libraries and health services operate on a reduced schedule.

HSL will introduce new public transport fare zones and tickets as soon as the majority of Travel Cards have been changed to new ones. The goal is to introduce the new fare model at the beginning of 2019. Ticket prices will also change.

The nature sites of the Helsinki metropolitan area can be visited on 134 nature tours this year. The tours have been compiled into a brochure – the Helsinki metropolitan nature tours calendar 2018.

The city bikes will hit the streets of Helsinki on 3 April, and Espoo will have bikes starting 2 May. Registration for the whole season is open and you can buy a day or a week pass starting 3 April.
