We will increase bus services between Vuosaari, Rastila and Itäkeskus
Bus 99V, Itäkeskus – Rastila – Vuosaari
Metro replacement bus 99V will run between Vuosaari, Rastila and Itäkeskus starting 5 May. The bus will run from Itäkeskus (M) via Meripellontie and Rastila (M) to Vuosaari (M). The bus will run at the same times as the Metro usually does. It will run every 2.5 minutes at peak times.
If you don’t travel directly between Vuosaari and Helsinki city center or Itäkeskus, other buses may be a more suitable option for you than the replacement bus 99V.

Bus 560, Rastila – Vuosaari – Mellunmäki – Kontula
You can also use trunk bus route 560 to travel between Rastila and Vuosaari. The bus also serves Mellunmäki Metro Station, which will be operational as usual. We are preparing for higher than normal passenger volumes on bus route 560, for instance, by striving to ensure the buses keep on schedule.
