Tram replacement service
Tram service may be interrupted, for example, due to track damage or a technical fault in a tram unit. During a disruption, you can continue your journey by bus. You can find the nearest stops and alternative routes in the Nysse Journey Planner.
Special arrangements during tram disruptions lasting over 2 hours
If the disruption lasts longer, bus routes 7 and 24 may operate on detour routes following the tram line. In addition, the routes of feeder lines 18, 22, and 81 can be extended to the city center. An “R” will be added to the route number in such cases. Please note that buses stop only at bus stops, not at tram stops.
7R Hakametsä - City centre 18R Kaupin kampus - Tampere City Center 24R Lentävänniemi - Hiedanranta
A separate bus route 3R can be launched on the Hervanta route if the tram disruption is expected to last several days.
Why don’t R buses appear in the Journey Planner?
Bus services replacing the tram are launched as quickly as possible so that passengers can continue their journeys. Due to the sudden nature of these situations, the schedules and route information for R buses cannot be updated in time in timetable and journey planning services.
However, you can get information about R buses being in operation through disruption messages, which are shown on Disruptions website, in the Nysse Journey Planner, and on stop and onboard displays.
Stay updated with the Journey Planner
In unexpected situations, timetables and routes may not always be up to date. You can follow your service on the Journey Planner map:
- On the homepage, select Buses and nearby stops on the map.
Also check disruption notices in the Journey Planner, at stops and on onboard displays.
