I didn't notice that. Maybe things have changed since my last visit
in 2002?

In some cities (not in Finland), use of mobile phones is forbidden on
public transport. The rationale is that buses and trains have a metal
shell, which shield the radio waves. So, the mobile phones can't
receive well, and they would then switch to higher-power modes and
emit more radiation. This higher level of radiation is assumed to be
harmful to other passengers. So, many law-makers accept this "theory"
and hence have passed laws to forbid the use of mobile phones in
public vehicles!
