Line types and coloring

In HSL traffic, all modes have their own color scheme. Buses and trams have two different color schemes depending on line's role in public transport system.

In addition, lines have types defined to aid reporting and financial planning. In Jore3, there are two overlapping type categories: Public transport target (joukkoliikennekohde) and public transport species (joukkoliikennelaji). In this we use "public transport target" codes and names when referencing Jore3 as these are used in all financial planning needs and for most reporting needs.

This document describes the different possibilities of line types and colors for each mode of transport.

By mode

Bus

For trunk lines:

How to detect if a line is trunk line: In jore3, the line has a requirement "Runkolinjaväritys"
Example: 560 Rastila-Myyrmäki
Target: Depending on area served, please see below
GTFS route type: 702
Color: #FF6319
Text color: #FFFFFF

For local buses "lähibussit":

How to detect if a line is lähibussi: In jore3, public transport species is "21 Lähibussiliikenne"
Example: 413 Myyrmäki-Martinlaakso
Target: Depending on area served, please see below
GTFS route type: 707 for most lines, 715 for routes that operate on call (example: 918 for southern Kirkkonummi)
Color: #007AC9

For U lines:

How to detect if a line is U-line: In jore3, public transport species is "08 U-liikenne"
Example: U848 Kamppi-Porvoo
Target: U lines + municipality served (currently includes capital region (Jore3 id: 9510), Kirkkonummi (Jore3 id: 9511), Sipoo (Jore3 id: 9512) and Tuusula (Jore3 id: 9513))
