HSL plans to cancel trunk bus lines 20 and 30 in South Helsinki, replacing them with a new tram line, a move that local residents fear will severely diminish public transportation in the area.
HSL (Helsinki Regional Transport Authority) is set to cancel two important bus lines, 20 and 30, that serve the southern districts of Helsinki. The intention is to replace these routes with a new tram line 5, which will run from Eira to Meilahti. This change has elicited concern from local resident associations who argue that the cancellation of these bus services represents a significant decline in public transport options available to residents. With distances to public transport stops expected to increase, residents are worried about accessibility, especially for the elderly population in the area.
