päätepysäkki

Päätepysäkki is a Finnish term that translates to "terminus" or "final stop" in English. It is commonly used in the context of public transportation, such as buses, trains, and trams, to denote the end of a route. A Päätepysäkki is a designated location where a vehicle completes its journey and typically begins its return trip or goes out of service.

These final stops are crucial for the efficient operation of public transport networks. They allow passengers to disembark and provide a clear point for the vehicle to turn around or be stored. Päätepysäkit are often equipped with amenities for passengers, including shelters, seating, and information boards displaying schedules and route maps. In some cases, a Päätepysäkki might also serve as a transfer point, allowing passengers to switch to other routes.

The concept of a Päätepysäkki is universal across different modes of transport. For example, a bus Päätepysäkki would be a designated stop at the end of a bus line, while a train Päätepysäkki would be the final station on a railway line. The term emphasizes the finality of the journey on that particular route, marking the point where the service concludes. Understanding the Päätepysäkki is essential for travelers to navigate public transport systems effectively and reach their intended destinations.
