Disruptions

Special routes during traffic disruptions in the city center

The streets near Nokia Arena may be closed during major events to ensure the safety of the area. The bus lines operating Vuolteenkatu will then run special routes.

Hämeenkatu can be closed due to a major traffic disruption, such as a demonstration or an accident. In this case, buses operating on Hämeenkatu will run through Hämeenpuisto and Ratina. Trams run from Hervanta and the Kauppi campus only as far as Sammonaukio.

Tram disruptions

The tram service may be interrupted due to, for example, track damage or a technical fault. During the disruption, you can continue your journey by bus. Find the nearest stops and an alternative route in the Journey Planner.

If the disruption is prolonged, the service will be replaced by a bus running on the tram route. The replacement bus 18R, 7R or 3R use the bus stops along the tram route. The bus stops are marked with red signs and they can be found in the immediate vicinity of the tram stops.

For the time being, there is no separate replacement bus on the route between Santalahti and Pyynikintori. Bus lines 9, 19 and 82 run on the same route.

The replacement buses will not operate during strikes.
