Imatra increases bus routes to Sienimäki, which is losing its business

The business bus travels through Sienimäki every weekday since the beginning of December. With the change, the city responds to a situation where a grocery store closes its operations in Sienimäki.

The city of Imatra increases the number of bus routes passing through Sienimäki. Since the beginning of December, the business bus also runs from Sienimäki twice a day on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, while until now it has only run on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
 
- These six extra shifts per week can be obtained by driving the business bus that goes to the shops via Tainionkoski from Keskuasema first to Sienimäki and then back to the west side of Vuoksi. The schedule of the business bus passing through Mustalammi and Karhumäki will change slightly. Changes to the route and schedule will be announced soon, says the city engineer Päivi Pekkanen.
 
The city reacted quickly to the situation. Information about closing the shop on 14.12. was told last week.
 
- It's a wonderful thing that we can fix the situation of the people of Sienimäki when the store closes its doors. The idea for this came from a bus driver driving the route. So a special thank you to him for this, thanks Päivi Pekkanen.

The driver who proposed the change is Mark Rita.
