Why take an emergency departure to the Canary Islands when you can take an emergency departure nearby?
Äänekoski's public transport got a new, cheerful look and name! From now on, we go by the name Äkilätä. At the same time, we put together the Äkilähto route schedules simply in one place. Take a look at the routes and schedules, and take Äkilätä close by! See routes and schedules here!
The city of Äänekoski wants to encourage residents to use public transport. The future city strategy also considers public transport as part of a greener future. For this reason, we wanted to gather a number of transport services into a clearer and easier-to-find entity. From today onwards, you can find, among other things, city transport schedules and routes conveniently in one place according to the place of departure.
- We have received a lot of feedback about the few bus routes and the lack of information. The purpose of the campaign is to improve the citizens' awareness of the services, as well as to increase the use of public transport in the area. A witty name is easy to remember and the locals can suddenly identify with it, commented the tourism and marketing expert who was involved in the implementation of the campaign Milla Hytönen.
The campaign will continue through 2022 and, in addition to marketing, various offers and activities will be attached to it. It is worth following the communication related to the topic, especially on the city's social media channels.
- The Green Renewable Äänekoski project has acted as the initiator, coordinator and ideator of the Äkilätä campaign. Increasing the use of public transport significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This is one of the reasons that inspired the start of the campaign, says Sirpa Kortelainen, project manager of the Vihreä Uusiutuva Äänekoski project.
