  • Strategy Survey for Residents

    The city strategy is a pivotal document for steering and providing a framework for decision making, setting out the long-term objectives for developing the city over the new council term. The new city strategy is being drawn up for the years 2026–2029.

    To support the preparatory work, we are surveying the views of residents on what the Kokkola of the future looks like and what objectives should be set for the new council period. Making the right choices is important and for this we need the views of residents from all walks of life.

  • Kokkola’s public transport to be renewed

    BYSSE’s routes and timetables will be renewed in July, when Dahl-Linjaliikenne Oy starts operating Kokkola’s public transport. In July, the buses are operated according to the summer timetable, and the entire route selection will be introduced in August when the school year starts.

    In the future, BYSSE’s journey planner can be found in Matkahuolto’s app Reitit ja Liput.
