Hämeenkatu
The closure of Hämeenkatu, the main thoroughfare in the center of Tampere, is extremely rare. An exceptional situation can be caused by a significant traffic disturbance, such as a protest, damage to the tram track or an accident. The lines passing through Hämeenkatu must then be moved to alternative routes.
Buses follow planned detours as far as possible. Exception routes do not appear in Nysse route and timetable services, as the situations are usually sudden and short-lived. Exceptions also cause delays in schedules, and it can take several hours for the service to return to normal.
