Rail travel offers city-center to city-center connections and frequent departures on the Tampere to Helsinki corridor, reducing transfer time compared with flights that require airport transfers. Buses are cheaper but have longer journey times and fewer onboard amenities. For many travelers the train provides a predictable timetable, faster door-to-door travel and easy access to public transport at both stations.
