Poistopuhaltimet

Poistotopuhaltimet are a type of bus operating in Finland that are specifically designed for insurance company employees and personnel. These buses are generally available to transport employees, their families, and job seekers between bus stops and to workplaces, especially during off-peak hours.

Poistotopuhaltimet operate on designated routes and follow regular timetables, although they may not be as frequent as those of public buses. Passengers using these services can expect minimal fares or no charge at all, as the costs are covered by the participating insurance companies.

The primary purpose of poistotopuhaltimet is to provide an affordable and convenient transportation option for employees of insurance companies, allowing them to commute to work and take part in company business. Additionally, these services contribute to reducing traffic congestion during peak hours by spreading out the number of passengers across designated routes.

In practice, poistotopuhaltimet operate as a complementary transit service within a network of local, national, and regional public transportation options available to the general public. Only employees, and sometimes job seekers, working or seeking employment with the participating insurance companies can use these services.
