Kevytlinjojen

Kevytlinjojen refers to a specific type of Finnish public transportation service, often translated as "light lines" or "feeder lines." These services are typically operated by smaller buses or minibuses and are designed to connect smaller communities or less densely populated areas to larger public transport hubs, such as train stations or major bus routes. The primary goal of kevytlinjojen is to provide accessibility and mobility for residents in areas that might not warrant a full-sized bus service. They often operate on more frequent schedules than traditional rural bus routes, making them more convenient for local journeys. The routes are usually demand-responsive or follow fixed, but often flexible, schedules. The operation of kevytlinjojen is a strategy to maintain public transport coverage in rural and suburban areas, promoting sustainable travel and social inclusion. These services are an integral part of the Finnish public transport network, ensuring that even those living outside major urban centers have access to essential services and opportunities.
