Which long-distance bus companies run in Sweden?
Companies named on their own sites, with example routes.
Short answer
Long-distance bus companies in Sweden include FlixBus, with routes such as Stockholm-Gothenburg, and Vy, which sells Vy express and Vy Bus4You tickets. Regional express buses, for example to Skövde, are timetabled through Västtrafik. This is a list of companies named on their own sites, not a ranking.
Why
- FlixBus's Swedish page lists cities such as Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö, Lund, Helsingborg, Jönköping, Linköping, Örebro and Uppsala.
- FlixBus lists the routes Stockholm-Göteborg, Köpenhamn-Göteborg and Oslo-Göteborg, and advertises its airport lines Arlanda-Stockholm and Landvetter-Göteborg from SEK 79.
- Vy says it offers bus and train services to several locations in Sweden, Norway and Denmark, and sells tickets for Vy Bus4You, Vy express and Vy trains.
Details
West Sweden says long-distance and express buses to Skövde start in towns in Västra Götaland and stop at Skövde Resecentrum, with timetables through Västtrafik. Prices and routes change by date, so check each company's site. For bus terminals in Stockholm, see bus terminals in Stockholm, and for rail alternatives see international buses and trains.
Tip
Compare the same date and route on each company's site, including the departure point, since some lines use airports or separate bus terminals. For trip budgets, see how much a trip to Sweden costs.
What may differ
Routes differ by region: FlixBus lists city-to-city and airport lines, Vy's bus products are sold alongside its trains, and regional express buses are handled by regional transport companies such as Västtrafik.
Common misconception
FlixBus is the only company that runs long-distance buses in Sweden.
What actually happens
Vy lists Vy Bus4You and Vy express among its services in Sweden, and West Sweden names express buses that are timetabled through Västtrafik.
