TRANSPORTATION IN SWEDEN

Public transportation

Swedes uses their public transportation frequently. There are various types of coupons according to each city's bus, metro
or tram system. These are usually bought in kiosks or information centers. when you come outside the “commuter belt”
from each city, the “Länstrafiken” or county traffic can be more sparse Other cities lack underground/metro/subway but
larger cities like Norrköping, Gothenburg has tram lines

Sweden Taxis and Car Rental

 Taxis are in abundance in the cities of Stockholm, Malmo, Gothenburg and other major towns in Sweden. They
tend to be on the expensive side, but if you need service, there are plenty of companies around the country, The
yellow sticker inside the cab is the general fare charged by the driver with the average being about 300 krona.

 Car rental is available at most airports, train stations and major cities. However, in places like Malmo and
Stockholm, prices can be expensive, driving full of tolls, and parking often tricky so having four wheels is usually
more stressful than helpful.

 Water taxis are used in Sweden, although mostly in cities located on rivers or harbors. Stockholm uses water taxis
as more of a tourist mover than local commuters.

 Sweden’s inner-city bus networks differ by city. Stockholm is home to an incredibly efficient system, which boasts
four lines connecting to the heart of town. Buses are relatively cheap and convenient.

 The intercity bus market in Sweden was deregulated in 1999. The first large carrier to start operating a significant
number of intercity bus routes was Swebus, which today is owned by Flixbus

 The IT infrastructure in Sweden is among the best in the world, so the timetables can easily be found online.
Self-driving buses to hit Swedish public roads next year

 Two full-length self-driving buses are set to start trafficking a popular Stockholm route next year making Sweden
the first country in Europe to start deploying autonomous buses on public roads.
 The electric-powered buses – developed by Nordic busmakers Scania and Nobina – will be deployed on public
traffic route during the course of 2020,
 The autonomous buses, which will drive in a special bus lane and be monitored by a security driver, will start out
travelling without passengers on just one kilometer of the route, but will eventually be rolled out to cover a five-
kilometres-long stretch and carry up to 300 passengers per day.

Rail transport in Sweden

 Rail transport in Sweden uses a network of 15006.25 km of track, the 22nd largest in the world. Construction of the
first railway line in Sweden began in 1855. Rail transport is operated by SJ, DSBFirst, Green Cargo, Vy Tåg and
more.
 Sweden drove on the left until 1967, but railways did not switch traffic due to that the engines of the days had the
drivers seat on the left side, the signals normally stands to the left and hence are easier to see.

(2008) Trains generally keep to the left, as opposed to all neighbouring countries.
