Confidex Ltd. has been selected by Lahti city’s public transport committee LSL, Lahden Seudun Liikenne, to deliver smart tickets for the LAHTI2017 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships. The championships take place in the city of Lahti, Finland during 22 February – 5 March, 2017.
 
According to Kim Venesjärvi, logistics manager of public transport at LSL, Confidex was selected as the supplier of smart tickets based on the company’s experience delivering a Waltti travel card solution to Finnish Lippu-ja maksujärjestelmä Oy.
 
The Waltti travel card system, with which the newly ordered championships card is compatible, is currently in use in 13 cities in Finland and in three countryside transportation areas. During November 2016, the Waltti travel card was used for 4,3 million trips nationwide. The Waltti travel card system is planned to be rolled out across Finland as a whole by 2018.
 
The LAHTI2017 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships affects the local public transport with an estimated increase of 8,000 daily trips by the competition staff members. City officials also estimate extra traffic following the arrival of national and foreign tourists, as well as increased traffic from local citizens.
 
“We will follow up the traffic situation with our operators and prepare to take action, launching extra transportation capacity, as needed. The co-operation with Confidex has also been excellent,” Venesjärvi said.
