Meanwhile, in the Finnish town
of Jyväskylä, local authorities
were concerned that the
elderly were staying in,
especially during winter,
because it was dark and the
pavements were slippery. To
make it easier for them to
exercise, they persuaded the
bus companies to stop by day
centers and old peoples'
homes and then at the local
swimming pool.
