Helsinki offers several smart ways to get around the city. The city’s smart public transport system enjoyed a rise in user satisfaction over the last 2 years. An ‘Uber boat’ system is under consideration and driverless buses are being trialled on open streets. The Helsinki Road Map prevents overcrowding and supports local business as it guides tourists around the city, while 75% of hotel rooms are certified environmentally friendly. Helsinki is also increasing the share of cycling, walking, and electric cars and trains.
