Timing complications may arise in different sectors, especially in public transport and communication.
The authorities, however, expect that everything will be normal once people become accustomed to the new timing in a few days’ time.
There will be some changes in the timetables of the bus and train services.
Timetable of local buses could be asked from the operators; while timetables for long-distance bus will be found on Matkahuolto's web page.
The summer time-shifting for long-distance buses will mainly affect Helsinki-Vantaa's airport express bus connection.
The schedule for the intercity and long-distance bus services will be available on the websites.
The train service schedules will also see some changes, including the Allegro high-speed train that operates between Finland and Russia.
The new timing will impact the schedules of at least nine long-distance night trains that operate between Saturday and Sunday.
Summer time generally starts on the last Sunday of March and continues until the last Sunday of October.
Finland has been following separate time schedules for summer and winter since 1981.
