Taxi service in Lahti?

Hi, I'm Abi.

I wasn't too sure where to post this, so I hope here is okay!
Basically I was hoping for a little help. Myself and 8 of my friends are traveling from England to Finland in a couple of weeks to camp in a nice place called Oksjarvi (my boyfriends parents own some land there.)
The plan is to catch a plane from Manchester to Helsinki airport, then stay the night in a hotel. The next day, we're going to catch a train from Helsinki to Lahti... but then I'm lost

I'm really not too sure how to get from Lahti to Oksjarvi, as none of my group drives. Does anybody know the area well enough to let me know any information about buses that could get us there? Or even the number of a taxi service in Lahti?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I would look on this page :

http://www.taksilahti.com/palvelut.php

price for taxi is about 5/9 € (evening,night) plus about 1 € a kilometer, you should look on a routeplanner how far it is.

ofcourse not in english

but the phone nr. is clear and they must speak english there. They also have small busses so you do not miss eachother.

It's 107Km form Lahti to Oksjärvi.

oops

maybe first a bus and then a taxi

but 120 /9 is not that bad.

Wrong lake. http://kansalaisen.karttapaikka.fi/link ... 96&lang=FI Maybe this one in Nastola, next to Lahti is the one?

Thank you so much

it's especially helpful to know how much it'll cost (round abouts.) I'm not sure exactly which lake it is... I pretty much leave the geography to Aleksi. But €120 between the lot of us sounds okay

I'll give the taxi company a call later, and just pray they speak English lol. I'm in the process of learning Finnish but I'm appalling so far.
Anyway, thank you all for your help!

I wouldn't count on that you can fit in 1 cab with all your baggage.

Well I'll call the company to ask if they offer a minibus service or something

A regular taxi takes four passengers and a minibus/taxi takes eight which is a shame as there's nine of you, but give them a call there's a good chance they may have some bigger minibuses to.
