Linja 00x

On saturday 14.7.2001 the Helsinki metro used only one track between Hakaniemi and Herttoniemi due to points works above ground between Kulosaari and Sörnäinen. The metro ran at a 15 minute interval, so a replacement bus route 00x between Rautatientori and Itäkeskus ran at an interval of five minutes. The route was operated by Suomen Turistiauto using mostly articulated buses.

These pictures show the buses used on the route between 16:20 and 17:05. During this time STA 197 completed the whole route. The bus order was not the same all day. The route was fast. With little interfering traffic the ride from Rautatientori to Itäkeskus only took fifteen minutes.
