As you might now, I travell quite much around Finland, mostly by boat from Helsinki to the Åland Islands, but quite often to some other cities like Uusikaupunki, Turku, or Lahti...
What I have always wondered is how it can be som damned expensive to travel with the public transportation in Finland. For example, travelling from Helsinki to Lahti (128 km) is a bit under 14 €, Turku to Helsinki (164 km) 27,50 €...
I don´t have a car any longer, but I used to have one, and if I remember right, with 27,50 €, I was totally able to get from Turku to Helsinki with my old Nissan Sunny 1.6... so if you have an own car, why would you sit some strangers and risk you to get spread some contagious disease, instead of sitting comfortable in your own car by the same price? And when you are two... why to pay double???
Wouldn´t it be more reasonable to have a bit lower fares for the buses so that people would might think to leave their own cars home (or not to have car at all) and travel a bit more ecological?
Could some finn explain how can be cheaper to fly from Helsinki to Kittilä than taking a crappy-full with people bus?
Have a nice week!
