HSL’s basic task HSL provides extensive transport options and creates conditions for a viable and pleasant Helsinki region.
Why a regional transport authority? • A viable transport system is a competitive asset at international level. • Traffic problems in the Helsinki region are not just an internal issue; they are something to be solved together. • A viable transport system necessitates high modal share of public transport across the region, not just in the metropolitan area. • Increasing the modal share of public transport requires an integrated public transport system. That is why we need a regional public transport organization.
Helsinki Metro • Helsinki Central Metro Station out of order from October 2009 to February 2010 • March 2010 all time record of 5,6 million passengers per month • Growth in number of passengers 2,6% in April 2010 • System recovers fast and passengers trust the system
Westward Metro 2014 • Finland's largest infrastructure project • Costs 714 million euro (City of Espoo 72 % Espoo, City of Helsinki Helsinki 28%) • Seven new stations • Two tunnels each 14 kilometres in length • 100 000 passengers every day • From Matinkylä to Ruoholahti in 16 minutes
