The Raide-Jokeri, also known as light rail line 15, will begin boarding passengers on Saturday, 21 October, Helsinki Regional Transport authority HSL announced on Tuesday.
Spanning 25 kilometres, the "15" line will run from Itäkeskus in eastern Helsinki to Espoo's Keilaniemi via the capital's northern suburbs.
Earlier this month HSL had to cancel a press conference called to announce the start date of the new tram line after one of the new trams derailed and hit a post supporting overhead power lines.
