  Helsinki Metro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The go-ahead for the construction of the first stage of the metro system was given on 7 May 1969, and it was expected to finish before 1977.
However, several problems came up in the testing stages, including corruption and faults in the rolling stock, and the system was not opened until 1982, five years behind schedule.
For example, since the construction of the metro, nearly all bus routes from Laajasalo have terminated at the Herttoniemi metro station.
