Hi Armand! The public transport system in Helsinki is the best in the world. There are buses, streetcars, trains, the subway and even ferries.

For less than 500€ for a yearly pass you can use it all you like. Yes, the vehicles are clean and safe, heated in the winter and some of the streetcars are even air-conditioned in the summer.

Armand
