Lahti's new mobile library is ecological and runs on electricity

Lahti's mobile libraries Eepos, which are at the end of their service life, and Pegasos, which are still on the routes, are slowly being phased out, and the new bus is scheduled to continue as the only mobile library on the Lahti library's routes in the fall of 2024. In addition to its electric drive, the new bus is a low-floor bus, where you don't have to climb stairs. The bus is barrier-free and open to everyone.

Lahti's previous mobile libraries also got their names with the help of a naming contest. Pegasos is currently running Lahti's mobile library and will start its routes again at the beginning of August.
