I can take the train and bus system to Helsinki from 400+ km away for these summer events from a single app on the phone and it’s a full-electric trip utilizing some of the lowest-carbon grid power in the world.
Walking and cycling prioritized in cities, clean transit and renewables projects in the region. Large-scale river and wetland restoration. All exist already in North Karelia.

Yeah, the train is the best. Half the price compared to driving with my hybrid car, 4L 95E10 per 100 km. I usually eat well and have some beer in the restaurant car so the advantage is lost hahaha
