There may be disruptions to metro and tram services this fall due to shortage of staff.  This week, disruptions to metro services are expected especially in the mornings. There may also be cancellations to tram services.

The situation is expected to improve as new drivers complete their training in the coming months. Metropolitan Area Transport Ltd aims to train 158 new tram drivers and 40 new metro drivers by summer 2023.

Changes have already made to the metro and tram timetables to ensure reliable service. For example, the metro runs every six minutes at peak times instead of every five minutes. Current timetables are available in the Journey Planner.

Passengers of cancellations will be noticed at hsl.fi (Link leads to external service)as well as via the HSL app.
