How to come by Public Transport from Vesanto to Tampere?
Posted: Sat July 22, 2006 11:33 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.

Thank you very much! I had obviously first a problem with the Matkahuolto page - when I wrote there Vesanto I was asked whether it is the school so I cliked to that and it was nothing from this point (maybe because I thought at this moment that it must be this point of departure - it was my mistake. But from the other there are in fact the 3 buses you write about and one of them is quite convenient for the train reaching Tampere in time! Obviously the locals I asked only go by car otherwise I had not even tried to go to the Internet to find a bus. So this is for my case clearly an adequate transport infrastructure - I only wonder that the people I asked in Vesanto were not able to tell me that (they all understood English well enough so it was not this problem...).
