Public transport

Bus schedules are planned so that they serve as well as possible as a connection to trains. However, the train schedule is so frequent especially in the mornings, that it is not possible to connect all buses to trains with no waiting times in between. Our aim is to ensure good connecting buses to at least the local trains towards Helsinki.

Bus schedules are also planned to be as compatible as possible with the start and end times of schools. Schools can decide their own starting and ending times, so the times may wary. In addition to the school schedules, the bus schedule mus also take into account other things, such as the aforementioned trains. Also, one bus can transport students to several different schools. Consequently, it is not possible to plan bus timetables in a way that leaves no waiting time for at least some of the students.

To make the journey of your fellow travelers more comfortable, please kindly give up the seat next to you and store your bags on your lap or on the floor for the duration of the journey.

All R-traffic buses have low floors, so you can easily board them with moving aids (prams, walkers, wheelchairs).The driver will help if necessary. There is no charge for transporting aids.

You can carry non-hazardous luggage on the bus, but the driver may refuse to take your luggage on board if the bus is full. There is no charge for transporting luggage.

You can transport non-dangerous pets on the bus, but the driver may refuse to take the pet on board if there are other pets or other animals in the car. You can always bring police, guide and assistance dogs on the bus. There is no charge for transporting pets.

You can carry a bicycle, electric scooter or other similar means of transport on the bus, but the driver may refuse to take the vehicle on board if the vehicle is full. The vehicle will be placed in the space in the middle of the vehicle and the customer is responsible for securing it during the journey. A fee of 1 euro will be charged for transporting a bicycle, electric scooter or other similar means of transport.

You must give a clear signal to an approaching bus, so the driver knows to stop. Please give a clear signal early. If it is dark outside, wear a reflector or use a flashlight or a light from your phone. Show a signal until the bus turns on the blinker. If you find it hard to recognize the bus line, it's best to stop the bus and ask the driver about the route of the bus.

If you intend to transfer from one bus onto another, please inform the driver of the bus, so they can do their best to ensure a successful transfer. The buses can sometimes run a bit late, so a transfer may not automatically succeed.

Depending on the bus lines, you can also transfer buses in places other than the train station, in which cases there might be more time for a transfer.

Information about cancelled buses or significant delays will be posted on this page (as well as the subpages) as soon as possible after the problem has occurred.

You can inquire about items left on the R-traffic buses from Riihimäki's Information center Eteläinen Asemakatu 2.
