The local transport regenerating

The operator of the local transport of Seinäjoki is changing in the new year. It has been operated by Veolia and will now be operated by Härmän liikenne. Veolia is a bigger company, operating in other towns and cities too. Härmän liikenne instead is a local company from Härmä, not far from Seinäjoki.

The local transport here hasn't really developed in the last 20 years. This change would maybe give a possibility for that.  However there was some kind of mixup in the competition and everything can still go back the way it was. That would mean Veolia would continue.

Härmän liikenne branded their buses as "Komia liikenne" (Komia transport). "Komia" is a finnish dialectual word for handsome and it is used in the marketing of Seinäjoki area.

Local transport

I've read that one of the definitions of a city is a working local transportation system. Well, we have a local transportation but I would have to say it's not very good. Buses run too infrequently and the routes are from the 80's or even 70's. The places where people work have changed a lot since then. So should the bus routes.
