Bussipysäkki

A bussipysäkki, meaning bus stop in Finnish, is a designated location where a public transport bus stops to allow passengers to board or alight. These stops are a fundamental part of urban and interurban public transportation networks, facilitating the movement of people within and between cities.

Bussipysäkit are typically marked with a specific sign, often a blue sign with a white bus symbol. They can range from simple roadside curb areas to more elaborate shelters equipped with seating, lighting, and real-time information displays. The presence and amenities of a bussipysäkki depend on factors such as the volume of passengers, the importance of the route, and local municipal planning.

Information provided at a bussipysäkki usually includes route numbers serving the stop and a timetable or digital display showing expected arrival times. This information is crucial for passengers to plan their journeys and minimize waiting times. In some cases, particularly in larger cities, bussipysäkit may be integrated with other public transport hubs, offering seamless transfers to trams, trains, or other bus lines. The design and placement of bussipysäkit are considered in urban planning to ensure accessibility for all users, including those with mobility challenges.
