Serving travellers for almost 90 years
In 1936, Joonas Pirttijärvi set up the very first route for his 14-seater bus. His other four brothers – Matti, Väinö, Eino and Otto – soon followed his lead. For the Pirttijärvi brothers, operating buses seemed to run in the family; it was how they earnt a living and they were quick to move forward. They combined their forces and decided to set up a bus company. A company that would offer reliable and comfortable travel to all locals and the surrounding areas. That’s where our story began. The company has since grown into one of the largest and most well-known bus companies in the area, having merged with a number of smaller operators over the years.
We’ve done more than simply transporting people from A to B; the company has played a part in many people’s lives. We have driven people to their first day of school, to meet their friends, to support their favourite sports teams, to events and adventures in Finland and other European countries.
During the company’s almost 90 years of history, it has faced several challenges and achieved numerous milestones. It has remained strong over the decades, and has developed to meet its customers’ needs and expectations.
Over the years, through hard work and uncompromising dedication, the company went from being a small, local company to owning a fleet of more than 100 buses, and offering not only bus services but also a range of travel organisation and travel agency services.
The company has an expansive network, and today our operations extend around North and Central Ostrobothnia, plus Kainuu, in an area encompassing around 20 municipalities. The company’s buses are known for their reliability, flexibility, and good service.
We are Wiimax!
Our expansion and strategy clarification allowed the strong development of our operations, meaning that 2024 was an ideal time for modernisation. The company, which comprises Oulaisten Liikenne, Kamusen Liikenne, Liikenne Huovari and Matkatoimisto Matka-Rasti, underwent a complete rebranding and now serves customers under the name Wiimax.
Wiimax continues to offer first-class service and travel experiences to all of its customers. Our journey will continue on to new adventures and opportunities, full of gratitude, passion, and the desire to provide even better service!
Your bus ride is our mission.
We wish you a warm welcome to Wiimax!
