Hallo, ich war noch nicht in Finnland (hoffe, nächstes Jahr zum Studieren dorthin zu ziehen), ist es wahr geworden?

Not at all 😀 Like usually peoples minds are so differentiated from reality in some cases.
If you read the original article, there was no real plan to do such a thing in the first place. They just tested some half assed version in small scale.
Not even close. But the article says the plan is to implement this by 2025, so that’s still like several months!
Nope. They increased parking pricing for share car services. One operator just shutdown it’s operation due to this.
I mean you generally don’t need a car in Helsinki and haven’t needed one in over a decade because the public transport system is very good.
I live a good 16 km away from the center, but can still easily get there in about 20 mins because I’m near the metro.
The only time some public transport isn’t running in my direction is between hours 2.30 – 4.30 am in the night.
However if you have a family and you have a lot of belongings/gear you need to drag around, than a car is of course is still useful.
From my experience owning car in Helsinki is pretty pointless at least if you live in centre. Public transport just comes so often that there is very little wait. You probably still need car when going to more rural areas so I say that it is half true.
Nope. Some very badly thought out ideas about „boulevards“, congestion charging etc. Some sanity has prevailed.
Didn’t that company MaaS, Mobility as a Service, go bankrupt? They were at the forefront of this.
What’s a car?
Mobility-on-demand, eh?
It’s scooters. Just those damn scooters. Those fucking scooters everywhere.
Helsinki is working hard to make every possible method of transportation useless. Only winners are ever-lasting construction sites.
It’s just another clickbait article about Finland supposedly doing something groundbreaking, like those „4-day work week“, „solving homelessness“ and „universal basic income“ articles. It’s always some small limited study being conducted in a handful of workplaces/municipalities, and nothing ever comes of it afterwards, regardless of results.
Helsinki hasn’t even been able to implement contactless card payments (or any card payments) for their public transit system, something that have been implemented in most other cities already.
I recently lived in Helsinki for 3 years and only rented a car for road trips out of the city. Public transit is excellent and continues expanding, the bicycle share system is great, and it’s also one of the most walkable cities I’ve ever been in.
In the summer everyone heads to the country and you can just walk around in the streets sometimes because there’s barely any cars downtown.
