    Have you noticed how common it is for buses and trains to leave at 23:59? The idea is to make it clear what evening the train is really running.

    In Finnish we call noon “12 o’clock” and midnight “0 o’clock”. Makes things a lot more clear.
    And the first hour of a calendar day is indeed 0:00 until 0:59:59.99… Since there are only 24 hours in a day, there cannot be a “24:30”. (Except in internal timetables of bus companies, that typically run until 30 o’clock, as it still officially counts as the same working day)
