Emissions-free transport milestone: Helsinki jubilantly opens new 25-kilometre light rail line
A new light rail line serving the Helsinki metropolitan area was taken into use amid much fanfare on Saturday, 21 October. Running crosstown between Espoo’s Keilaniemi and Helsinki’s Itäkeskus districts, the new light rail line is a substantial investment in zero-emissions public transport. It also brings the City of Helsinki one step closer to achieving its goal of carbon neutrality by the year 2030.[Running crosstown between Espoo’s Keilaniemi and Helsinki’s Itäkeskus districts, the new light rail line is a substantial investment in zero-emissions public transport.] A new light rail line
