- Public service
Our transport services are intended for Helsinki residents with a disability for whom using public transport is unreasonably difficult. We grant support for your commute to work or studies and travelling for errands and leisure activities. We do not grant support for health care-related trips, as Kela reimburses visits to doctors and examinations on the basis of health insurance.
