liikennöivissä

liikennöivissä is a Finnish word that translates to "operating" or "in service" when referring to vehicles, particularly public transport. It is the plural partitive form of the adjective "liikennöivä," which itself comes from the verb "liikennöidä," meaning to operate or to be in service.

When a train, bus, tram, or ferry is described as liikennöivissä, it signifies that the vehicle is currently active and running on its scheduled route. This term is commonly used in timetables, announcements, and discussions related to public transportation operations. For instance, an announcement might state that a particular bus line is liikennöivissä, meaning it is currently running and available for passengers. Conversely, if a vehicle is not liikennöivissä, it is out of service, undergoing maintenance, or not operating for some other reason. The concept helps distinguish between vehicles that are actively participating in the transportation network and those that are not. Understanding liikennöivissä is essential for users of public transport in Finland to ascertain the availability of services.
