Pysäkkikilpi

Pysäkkikilpi is a Finnish term that translates to "bus stop sign" in English. It refers to the standardized signage used to indicate the location of a bus stop within Finland. These signs are crucial for public transportation users to identify where they can board or alight from buses.

The design of a pysäkkikilpi is typically a blue rectangular sign featuring a white pictogram of a bus. In many cases, the name of the bus stop is also displayed below or beside the pictogram, along with information about the bus routes that serve that particular stop. Some pysäkkikilpi might also include real-time arrival information displays, especially in larger urban areas. The placement of these signs is usually along the roadside or on sidewalks, at a height easily visible to pedestrians. Their consistent appearance across the country helps ensure that both local residents and tourists can navigate the public transport system with ease. The introduction and standardization of these signs have contributed to the efficiency and user-friendliness of bus services in Finland.
