- Public_transport_in_Helsinki abstract "Public transport in Helsinki consists of bus, tram, metro, train, and ferry services. The system is managed by Helsinki Region Transport (HSL/HRT) and covers Helsinki, Espoo, Kauniainen, Vantaa and the outlying Kerava, Kirkkonummi and Sipoo.The diverse public transport system of Helsinki region consists of trams, suburban metro railways, the subway, bus lines and two ferry lines.Today, Helsinki is the only city in Finland to have access to trams or subway trains. There used to be two other cities in Finland with trams: Turku and Vyborg. However, Turku abandoned trams in 1972 and Vyborg, which was at that time already part of the USSR, abandoned them in 1957.Of commuting trips within the city limits of Helsinki 50% are made using public transport and only 28% using a car while 48% of the households have access to a car. The ridership is typical to a European city, but if Helsinki were in U.S., it would have the second highest ridership after New York. Partly due to lack of trams or rapid transit outside the Helsinki Region, the ridership in other cities in Finland is significantly lower.The Helsinki Metro, opened in 1982, was the first, and so far the only, subway-system in all of Finland. For the first 16 years of its existence, the line was topologically only one straight line, but in 1998 a fork with three stations each was added at the eastern end of the line.The metro serves only the eastern suburbs and some areas close to the city center. Other areas are served by regional and suburban trains that cover all of the capital region and smaller cities and towns as far north as Riihimäki and Lahti and as far west as Karis (Karjaa). Most routes have a headway of 10 or 15 minutes the last trains departuring from Helsinki city center only after 1 am, or 4 am on weekend nights. Cities within a longer distance from Helsinki, like Riihimäki, Hyvinkää, Järvenpää, Lahti or Karjaa have longer headways up to one hour and often more limited operating hours.In 2006 the construction of the long debated extension of the subway system west into southern parts of Espoo (Esbo) was approved in Espoo City Council, and serious debate about an eastern extension to Sipoo (Sibbo) has taken place. To cope with the rising usage the Helsinki Metro is also planned to be further automated by the end of 2015, replacing the old traffic control system with a newer one to allow shorter train intervals, although with shorter trains.Long-distance trains depart from the Central Railway Station and Pasila station to destinations across Finland. Pendolino trains offer higher speed connections to major cities, as do Intercity and Intercity2 trains at slightly slower speeds.A tunnel has been proposed to connect Helsinki with Tallinn, though the proposal is still in the investigation phase. Ring Rail Line (Kehärata), a project to connect Helsinki-Vantaa Airport with the national rail network and downtown Helsinki, has been approved and construction should have been completed by 2015.".
