Accessible West Metro Guided Tour with Evenio

For me, the metro is the most independent form of public transport. The new West Metro stations in Espoo are magnificent, spacious, and completely accessible. The roomy lifts have motion detectors and buttons that are activated automatically when you get near them, which makes using the lifts so much easier for me. The buttons are at a lower level than in older metro stations, so I can press them myself if I need to. The West Metro stations are much more than just places that allow easy mobility. After taking the Evenio Oy guided tour of the metro’s art and technology, I have seen the stations in a whole new light.
