New road signs at Rovaniemi railway station send buses and taxis to the junction on the west side. Boarding stays at the platforms used today.
The city is adding waiting space for buses and making the taxi area larger, but passengers still board their bus at the platforms used today.
Traffic arrangements around Rovaniemi railway station are being made clearer during October, the city of Rovaniemi says. New road signs on Ratakatu, the street along the station, will direct buses and taxis to use the junction on the west side of the station.
The changes come into use during October 2026. The city has not said which day the signs go up, so if you are driving to the station it is worth reading the signs on the spot rather than trusting the route you used last time.
More waiting space for buses, a larger taxi area
Buses get more waiting space in the station area, and the taxi area is being made larger. Passengers still board buses at the platforms used today, so there is no new boarding point to look for.

If you are collecting someone from the train
According to the city, the changes concern how buses and taxis move around the station. The city has not said whether drop-off by private car or parking in front of the station changes. If you are collecting someone from the night train, allow a few extra minutes and follow the signs in front of the station.
The aim of the change, the city says, is to make the traffic arrangements in the area clearer and to keep traffic moving around the railway station.
