The Sipoonkorpi Hop-On Hop-Off bus now runs to Sipoonkorpi National Park as part of the HSL traffic

The Sipoonkorpi Hop-On Hop-Off bus operates on summer weekends from 10 May to 5 October 2025. The bus will run from Tikkurila Travel Centre to Nikkilä along the west side of Sipoonkorpi and to Mellunmäki metro station along the east side. There are 15 stops along the route, including a new stop at Fazerintie, a short distance from the Fazer Experience Visitor Centre.

The bus service will improve access to Sipoonkorpi National Park and encourage visitors to use public transport. It also facilitates one-way hikes in Sipoonkorpi National Park and distributes visits more widely throughout the National Park, thus preventing overcrowding in its most popular destinations.

The line is a joint effort of two municipalities

The Sipoonkorpi Hop-On Hop-Off bus route runs from Tikkurila via Koivukylä station and Kuusijärvi to Nikkilä in Sipoo. From Nikkilä, the bus runs via Sipoo Old Church, Sipoonjoki Traditional sauna and Korvenportti, and via Fazer Experience Visitor Centre to Mellunmäki metro station.

“We are delighted that the long-term work to connect the bus to the HSL service is completed, making travel to Sipoonkorpi National Park even smoother. We encourage everyone to take a trip to Sipoonkorpi National Park to enjoy nature and grill some snacks by the campfires. Many other destinations along the route can now also be easily visited by the Hop-On Hop-Off bus,” says Katri Roivainen, Head of Economic Development in Sipoo.

“Kuusijärvi outdoor recreation area and Sipoonkorpi National Park belong to the favorite destinations of Vantaa residents, and during the busiest times the capacity of the Kuusijärvi parking lot, even with extended capacity, is simply not sufficient. The Sipoonkorpi Hop-On Hop-Off bus offers a good alternative to reach nature without a private car or the need for parking. The bus also enables a more varied exploration of Sipoonkorpi, as it allows you to start your hike from multiple spots, or to finish it with sweet treats at Vaarala in Vantaa. This year, the bus will run right next to the Fazer Experience Visitor Centre,” says Mari Virtanen, Vantaa’s tourism planner.

Reaching the national park by low-floor bus

Transport company Taksikuljetus Harri Vuolle Oy won the tender, and the route will again be operated with a low-floor bus. Hence, the bus is accessible with a stroller, and you can also take your bicycle on board. Dogs are also welcome on board.

Regular HSL bus tickets are valid on the bus and a daily ticket allows you to visit several destinations along the route. Sipoonkorpi National Park is situated within zones B, C and D. You can buy your ticket conveniently on the HSL app or use your HSL card. Single and daily tickets can also be purchased at HSL ticket machines and at sales points, such as the R-kiosks and S-group stores. In Sipoo, tickets can also be bought from library information points. Please note that a separate service fee may be charged at different sales points. A single BCD-zones ticket for adults costs €4.40 and a day ticket €10. Tickets for concessionary groups are valid on the route as normal.

HSL bus route 712 also continues operating

HSL bus route 712 will continue to operate this year. The service will start on 28 April 2025 and will run hourly on weekends between Tikkurila and Kuusijärvi. The HSL bus line runs to Kuusijärvi via Hakunila.
