Experience the FASTEST TRAM Ride in Finland from Helsinki to Espoo
Hello! Today we will travel from Helsinki to Espoo on tram 15. This is a comfortable, high-speed light rail. Helsinki light rail line 15 is a 25-kilometre (16 mi) light rail line connecting Keilaniemi in Espoo and Itäkeskus in Helsinki, Finland. Known during construction as Jokeri light rail , construction was started in June 2019 and the line began operating in October 2023, about 10 months ahead of the original schedule. The line replaced the trunk bus line 550, the busiest bus service on the Helsinki Regional Transport Authority public transport network.
A total of 29 bi-directional Škoda Artic X54 units have been ordered for the line. The model, also known as Artic XL, is based on the Artic model originally designed for Helsinki's tram network and will also be used on the Crown Bridges lines. All trams are based at Roihupelto tram depot, which was built beside the Roihupelto metro depot used by Helsinki Metro. Light rail runs faster and mostly on a dedicated lane, separated from other traffic. Light rail 15 runs every 8 minutes on weekdays. Light rail vehicles are more spacious than traditional trams, improving travel comfort.
