Transport in Stockholm consists of an extensive and well-developed transport network, integrating both public and private services across the city and surrounding county. Stockholm regularly ranks as having one of the best public transport systems in the world. SL's network uses a unified ticketing system, while operation and maintenance of SL's services are managed by various contracted companies.
In addition to SL , several other public and private operators provide regional and inter-city rail connections, long-distance buses , and Waxholmsbolaget archipelago boat services. Airport transport services in Stockholm are provided by both public and private operators. SL offers commuter rail connections to Arlanda Airport and tram services to Bromma Airport , along with some local bus routes serving Arlanda.
Public transportation
Private operators include Flygbussarna , which runs airport bus services, and the Arlanda Express , providing a high-speed train link to Arlanda Airport. There are over bus lines in Stockholm County. The blue buses are in the inner city variant trunk lines traversing large parts of the Stockholm inner city, and in the suburban variant acting as important feeder lines between the suburbs and public transport hubs in central Stockholm, or providing crossway connections between suburbs.
These are called blue bus lines because the buses that operate on them are painted blue, in contrast to the red color of the regular buses. Along some parts of these lines instead of regular bus stops there are areas where one can halt the bus just by waving at them. In addition to this, there are also night busses, which replace the regular bus routes during the night, during which they do not run. These lines always have some variation of X9X as their number, such as , 91, and Buses in Stockholm have a punctuality of around 92 percent.
The Stockholm Metro consists of three groups of lines blue, red, green , which are each referred to as a singular line. The Stockholm metro has been called 'the world's longest art gallery', [ 8 ] with most of the network's stations decorated with sculptures, mosaics, paintings, installations, engravings and reliefs. The Pendeltåg commuter train system connects central Stockholm with the wider county, operating on two main branches with six route lines:.
Two of them, Nockebybanan and Tvärbanan are connected and share depot and rolling stock. There is one heritage tram line operational, Djurgården line. All SL fares are valid. There are two further local systems also labelled in English material as "light rail" by SL [ 12 ] the Roslagsbanan , a narrow gauge rail system, and the Saltsjöbanan with standard gauge rail.
Neither are connected to the main railway network. The entire Saltsjöbanan is currently replaced by buses due to construction work on the line, with it being slated to open again from , although not the full line to Slussen until a few years later. The majority of transport across the islands of archipelago is operated by Waxholmsbolaget. As of November [update] there are four commuter ferry pendelbåt lines in Stockholm, administered by SL.
Some are run by Waxholmsbolaget under SL supervision. There are also regional and InterCity trains going on the mainlines between Stockholm and cities outside the county. These train are run by Mälartåg and SJ with some being subject to public funding. Single tickets can be bought from each respective operator while period tickets including local public transport can be used on either operator.
Historically, waterways posed significant obstacles for land transport, with only a few key routes existing in the Middle Ages. Stockholm is at the junction of the European routes E4 , E18 and E A C-shaped motorway ring road exists around the south, west and north of the City Centre. The northern section of the ring road, Norra Länken, opened for traffic in while a final subsea eastern section has been discussed at various points in the past, but was discontinued in , and is no longer included in the national plan.
A bypass motorway for traffic between Northern and Southern Sweden, Förbifart Stockholm , is being built. The many islands and waterways make extensions of the road system both complicated and expensive, and new motorways are often built as systems of tunnels and bridges. Stockholm has a congestion pricing system, the Stockholm congestion tax, [ 20 ] in use on a permanent basis since 1 August , [ 21 ] [ 22 ] after having had a seven-month trial period in the first half of All the entrances and exits of this area have unmanned control points operating with automatic number plate recognition.
What is the translation of "public transport" in Swedish?
All vehicles entering or exiting the congestion tax affected area, with a few exceptions, have to pay 10—20 SEK 1. After the trial period was over, consultative referendums were held in Stockholm Municipality and several other municipalities in Stockholm County. The then-reigning government Persson Cabinet stated that they would only take into consideration the results of the referendum in Stockholm Municipality.
The opposition parties Alliance for Sweden stated that if they were to form a cabinet after the general election —which was held the same day as the congestion tax referendums—they would take into consideration the referendums held in several of the other municipalities in Stockholm County as well. The results of the referendums were that the Stockholm Municipality voted for the congestion tax, while the other municipalities voted against it.
The opposition parties won the general election and a few days before they formed government Reinfeldt Cabinet they announced that the congestion tax would be reintroduced in Stockholm, but that the revenue would go entirely to road construction in and around Stockholm. During the trial period and according to the agenda of the previous government the revenue went entirely to public transport.
