What happens if you work in Mejlans or Pitäjänmäki or Pasila? Should you then first take the bus to the metro, metro into town and then another tram? Oh no I do think that you’d rather take your own car. – Fred Granberg


city’s stated goal is still the residents to take to metro stations by either bus or bike in the first place.

– Coach files will increasingly benefit from the right of way at traffic lights and cycling’s also good for your health, motivates Nyberg.



Vanda will show examples

The biggest unresolved issue is how much it’ll cost to park at the metro station and how prepayment. Traffic Control Manager Johanna Nyberg looks east for inspiration.

– What we know is that one should pay with their travel card. We follow the best with what Vantaa intends to resolve the issue with the connection parking in connection with the Ring Rail Line which opens in the summer.

actual price and various discount groups is unclear.

– How do we make such do with groups who use public transport for free? Should they also get to use connection traffic for free?

Self Nyberg hope that the questions have an answer within a year.

– Right now we are busy with info placards design. They must be ready soon for the delivery of signs takes six months before its’ll procurement and decisions, says Nyberg.

“Niittykumpu residents find enough its metro station “

Espoo Politicians often been critical to the entire West Metro project is Councilman Fred Granberg (SFP). He do not believe that the amount of connectivity parking will be a problem.

He does not see that park and ride, that is, combining private car and public transport, will become so popular in southern Espoo.

– Most people who live around here and work inside the center of Helsinki takes enough already bus all the way, says Granberg. And most of them are already Västerleden to take the bus, so probably find they come here to Niittykumpu station also.

– What happens if you work in Mejlans or Pitäjänmäki or Pasila? Should you then first take the bus to the metro, metro into town and then another tram? Oh no I do think that you’d rather take your own car, speculates Granberg.
