The commuter network

Three directions with many types of different stopping and fast trains make the Helsinki commuter network efficient. There are two zone borders on the green branch in YTV territory (however Y trains go further) and a series of trains pass the first zone without stopping and there are other trains that in the third zone only stop at the most frequently used stations. Sometimes you have to change your trains to get to your destination, but it’s very well organized, fast and comfortable. For example many change from an A train at Leppävaara to an Y to get outside the boundaries of Greater Helsinki to their homes (where their cars are waiting).
