The spokesperson was Kaarlo Leander, the chair of Linja-autoliitto ry which was established to act as the interest group of private bus operators.

Bus stations were quickly built by the local departments of Linja-autoliitto also in Helsinki, Viipuri, Porvoo, Loviisa, Lohja, Lappeenranta and Imatra.

In the end of the century, there were 36 bus stations in Finland, and in 56 localities there was a Matkahuolto agent selling tickets and handling freight.

The outbreak of the Winter War in the end of November 1939 made operations more difficult and many bus stations were damaged by bombing.

In the end of the 1960s, the company started to claim to its possession kiosks and cafeterias but in the longer term, this was not an economically viable venture.

In the name of the collective benefit of the field, it has been obliged to maintain unprofitable operations, like information on timetables and sale of tickets, as well as services in sparsely populated areas.

The biggest challenge of Oy Matkahuolto Ab in the 2000s was building the new bus terminal Kamppi Center in Helsinki.

Parcel services for online shopping and mail order companies are available from Tradeka outlets which include Siwa, EuroMarket and Valintatalo grocery stores.
