Drivers involved in an elk or reindeer collision should report the event to the Police immediately. In Lapland, buses are the major means of surface travel. Bus stations have restaurants and shops. Baggage left at one station is dispatched to its destination, even when bus transfers and different bus companies are involved. Seats for coaches can be reserved in advance by paying the full fare and reservation fee.
Timetables are widely available.
The state post office also runs a bus service with routes that serve the rural areas. Taxi drivers are not tipped. Taxis have a yellow taksi sign which is lit when the taxi is vacant. They can be booked at taxi ranks or signalled from the street. Normally, the hiring party should be at least 19-25 years of age and have a minimum of one year's driving experience.
