Bus routes that terminate in Hakaniemi
Bus routes 614, 617, 623, 633, 643(K), 711(K), 721 and 731 terminate in Hakaniemi. These buses currently depart from Hakaniemen torikatu next to Hakaniemi Market Square.
Starting 3 March, the buses will depart from the “Merihaka” (H2513) bus stop on Sörnäisten rantatie. From there, they will continue via Miina Sillanpään katu to Hämeentie and Sörnäinen. There will be another temporary bus stop, “Näkinkuja” (H2509), on Miina Sillanpään katu, approximately 200 meters from Hakaniemi Market Square.
When arriving in Hakaniemi, the terminus of the buses will be “Väino Tannerin kenttä (H2512) on Haapaniemenkatu. The stop is about a 500-meter walk from Hakaniemi Market Square. If you want to avoid walking, get off the bus in Sörnäinen and change to the Metro or to a bus heading to the Railway Square (Rautatientori). The buses will not continue from Haapaniemenkatu to the “Merihaka” and “Näkinkuja” stops because the stop on Haapaniemenkatu will be a timing point.
The route is changed because the buses cannot follow their usual route from Siltasaarenkatu to Hakaniemen torikatu due to the construction work. Additionally, buses which depart from the Railway Square will serve the stops on Hakaniemen torikatu and there is not enough space for buses departing from Hakaniemi to use the same stops.

In the direction of the Railway Square, the buses will stop on the west side of the market square (bay 15). Due to changes in traffic arrangements, the buses will use the current northbound lane on Siltasaarenkatu. The new stop is next to the tram stop closest to Hakaniemi Market Square.
Bus 23 will also serve the same stops at the market square (bay 24 towards Pirkkola, bay 15 towards the Railway Square). Read more about the new route of bus 23 in Kallio in our service update.
