Raahe-kyyti

The Kyyti-Pekka and Kyyti-Fiia service buses operating in Raahe’s town centre, along with the demand responsive bus service, will be merged into the Raahe-kyyti service from 10 June 2024 onwards. In connection with the update, Kyyti-Pekka’s and Kyyti-Fiia’s own call lines will be discontinued, and all journeys will be scheduled centrally from Raahe-kyyti’s dispatch centre or via the mobile application.

Raahe-kyyti is a service available to all age groups and passengers, and its routes are determined according to the customers’ needs. This means that you’ll be able to request transportation either between your chosen bus stops or from door to door. The areas serviced by Raahe-kyyti can be seen on the map below.

Operating hours

• Demand responsive bus: Mon-Fri 7–19 and Sat 9–15

If you require assistance during travel, please mention while making the request that you are specifically asking for a service bus.

  The service hours of Raahe-kyyti’s dispatch centre are Mon-Fri 8–16 (standard mobile phone charges).

  More information: Matkahuolto.fi: Booking a DRT ride with the Trips and Tickets app.

The pick-up and arrival times of demand responsive transport are given as time intervals so that your journey can be combined with the journeys of other passengers. You should always be prepared to leave at the earliest possible pick-up time. You may have to wait up to 15 minutes longer than the estimated time for a ride. If you no longer need a ride, please remember to cancel your request by using the application or calling the dispatch centre.

You can pay either via the application when making your request or with cash, card or mobile ticket when getting on the bus.

Service traffic in the Raahe town centre

Kyyti-Pekka and Kyyti-Fiia are service buses specifically designed to meet the needs of older people and persons with disabilities. However, anyone can travel on them. The drivers will take passengers from door to door and provide assistance where necessary.

As the city centre’s service buses are merged into the Raahe-kyyti service, service traffic operations will remain unchanged. However, going forward, transportation on Kyyti-Pekka and Kyyti-Fiia can also be requested through the application as well as by phone.

Transportation to Kreivinaika will still be an integral part of service bus operations.
