What were the ways to participate in the planning?

By commenting and discussing

We reported on the progress of the planning and discussed the draft plans with you on the blog. The first draft was open for comments from 1 October to 24 October 2021, the revised draft from 10 November to 21 November 2021.

By responding to surveys

The travel survey was open 2–22 August 2021. Customers were able to tell about their travel habits as well as their about expectations for public transport services in Tapiola and Leppävaara. Once the plan was completed, we asked on how we succeeded in engaging the public. The survey was open until 22 February 2022.

How was the plan developed?

We planned the routes together with customers and the City of Espoo.
At first, we increased our understanding on people’s travel needs in the area, with the help of residents and people who travel in the area.

After that, we published a draft route network plan for comments. Finally, we selected the route network that will best serve our customers.

HSL Executive Board approved the route network plan on 8 February 2022. Changes to the route network are expected to be implemented in 2024.
