Hello,

Is anyone know School Van service from Matinkylä to Kilo route? It would be great if there is any.

Thanks!

I don't think there are any private school buses, I have never heard of any. Children take the regular public transport in Finland.
I only know of special mini-buses that pick up children who go to special schools (eg if they have reduced mobility etc)

If the kids live in the boonies or have special needs, the county organises a lift that can be a taxi/van service, but it depends on how far the school is and if theres public transport otherwise.

Don't think Matinkylä counts as "boonies". :wink:

So basically, its for kids if the school is more than 3km 1-2 graders, or otherwise 5km away - but only if if the school is one that the district assigned the kid to...
