Lisäreiteet

Lisäreiteet is a Finnish term that translates to "additional routes" or "alternative routes." It is most commonly used in the context of public transportation, particularly in urban and suburban areas. When a standard bus or tram route is disrupted due to roadwork, events, or other unforeseen circumstances, supplementary services may be introduced to ensure passengers can still reach their destinations. These lisäreiteet often follow a modified path, detouring around the affected area.

In some cases, lisäreiteet can also refer to planned, less frequent routes that offer connections between areas not directly served by the main public transport network. These might be seasonal routes or those designed to cater to specific demands, such as connecting residential areas to recreational facilities during weekends. The implementation of lisäreiteet aims to maintain service continuity and accessibility for public transport users, especially in situations where standard operations are not feasible. They are a practical solution for adapting to changing circumstances and optimizing the reach of public transportation systems.
