Possible power cuts caused by the shortage of electricity in the coming winter may also affect Nysse’s operations. However, the aim is to target the power cuts so that they cause the least amount of disruption to the functioning of society, and power cuts will be mainly targeted at households.

Buses will operate during short power cuts. Electric buses will also operate, as a power cut of a few hours will not affect the charging of electric buses’ batteries. During short power cuts, the aim is to secure the electricity supply of trams. However, trams may slow down or operate only on part of the route, as a power cut may, for example, affect traffic lights and the operation of turnouts locally. During short power cuts, the aim is to secure the electricity supply of rail transport. However, regional problems in electricity supply can also cause disruptions to rail transport.

There may also be disruptions in the ticketing and payment system, but they are unlikely especially during short power cuts.

Nysse’s customer service may have to be closed during, for example, a regional power cut. If connections do not work, the telephone service will also be closed.

You can follow Nysse’s disruption communications on the Nysse.fi home page, in the journey planner, in the Nysse.fi timetable service, on the @Nysseinfo page on Twitter and on the screens on buses, trams and at bus/tram stops.
