Shared-use vehicles have arrived in Turku to facilitate the movement of the city’s residents. The new types of transport enable the combination of different modes of transport: for example, you can take the first part of your journey on a Föli bus and then continue on an electric scooter or city bike. Renting a vehicle is ecological and there is plenty of choice in the shared-use vehicles for different needs.
