How to come by Public Transport from Vesanto to Tampere
Posted: Sat July 22, 2006 11:27 PM UTC
The distance between Vesanto and Tampere is only 264 km and Vesanto is not nothing (at least it has a church, a school and a disco - I know, for the complete definition of a Finnish city an ALKO would be needed, too) and Tampere is the biggest inland city of all Northic countries and 264 km are not an exotic distance in Finland. Is there any Public Transport between these two places the way that Tampere (or its airport) could be reached from Vesanto the same day until 16:00? Please dont tell me about hitchhiking or taxi - I mean normal Public Transport as expected in one of the best civilized countries in the world. The only thing I found so far is that in a distance of 55 km is the train station of Suonenjoki where the trains to Helsinki (with changes to Tampere at Pieksaemaeki) stop every second hour - but no evidence of any Public Transport between Vesanto and Suonenjoki). But what for example are people from Vesanto doing if they want to travel either to Tampere or to the capital Helsinki on Public Transport?? Bus pages like Matkahuolto did not help me at all. Please help me! Otherwise I can not longer believe that Finland is a civilized country with an adequate infrastructure.

Hi Anjutka. My answer is late but as your question keeps annoying me in Virtual Tourist I will answer shortly - maybe it helps others, too. In www.matka.fi you get complete itirenaries and even maps (if you do not want to fly): the system checks buses and trains and counts timetables also in English.

Hello Outi!

Thank you for your answer. This website is really helpful. I was lucky - friends brought me by car to Suonenjoki to the train and the rest was very comfortable.
