Van Hool TD927 on line F1 from Helsinki to Turku.

In 2011, OnniBus was founded by Pekka Möttö, Lauri Helke, Petteri Rantala and Pertti Möttö.[2]

Services

As of April 2016, OnniBus.com operated services on 17 routes:

Aside from the cities mentioned above, OnniBus.com's buses stop at numerous other places but unlike Matkahuolto's intercity buses, they do not stop at all express stops on the way. Passengers can board and leave the bus only at predetermined stops, often located at city and town centres. This practice cuts travel times whilst also making business more profitable according to the company.

Fleet

OnniBus operate a fleet of 48 Van Hool Astromega TDX27s as of October 2015.[5] In March 2016 Onnibus imported used Van Hool Altano TD921s from its sister company, PolskiBus.
