As an active and responsible asset owner, Länsimetro owns and develops the metro infrastructure and manages its assets systematically throughout their lifecycle. We lead and oversee maintenance and property services to ensure that the infrastructure remains safe, reliable and cost-effective.
Our work is guided by three strategic themes:
- Reliable metro infrastructure
- Cost-effective operations
- A smooth passenger experience
Cooperation with key partners
Together with our partners, we maintain and develop the metro infrastructure to ensure an inviting, accessible and safe metro environment for passengers and to meet the changing needs of the Helsinki metropolitan area.
Our key partners include the owner cities of Espoo and Helsinki, Metropolitan Area Transport Ltd (Kaupunkiliikenne), Helsinki City Transport (HKL), Helsinki Regional Transport Authority (HSL), construction projects along the metro corridor, and neighbouring property owners.
Länsimetro works closely with Metropolitan Area Transport Ltd, which provides most of the maintenance services for Länsimetro Oy’s metro stations and rail line. Metropolitan Area Transport Ltd reports on these activities to Länsimetro Oy. HKL provides some of the services.
The responsibilities for managing and maintaining the metro infrastructure are defined in a cooperation agreement between Länsimetro Oy, Metropolitan Area Transport Ltd and HKL. HSL is responsible for organising public transport services, including route planning, timetables and passenger information.
