How long is an SL ticket valid?

How long single and period tickets last and whether you can change vehicles.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

A single SL ticket is valid for 75 minutes, with an unlimited number of trips in SL traffic, including changes between the metro and buses. A 24-hour, 72-hour or 7-day ticket lasts for that period, and a 30-day ticket is valid for 30 days counted from the day you start it.

Why

  1. The single ticket is valid for an unlimited number of trips for 75 minutes, according to SL.
  2. The 30-day ticket is valid for 30 days counted from the day you start it, according to SL.
  3. Adult period tickets cost SEK 180 for 24 hours, SEK 360 for 72 hours and SEK 470 for 7 days, according to SL.

Details

A single ticket is valid for trips with SL traffic, so one ticket covers the metro, buses and the pendeltåg to Bålsta and Gnesta within the 75 minutes. Trips to Uppsala, Knivsta and Arlanda need a special ticket. For stations and lines see train and subway stations in Stockholm, and for prices see how to pay for SL in Stockholm.

Tip

Count 75 minutes from the start of your first trip and plan to finish your last trip within that time, since the ticket is valid for 75 minutes. Buy a new ticket if you travel again after it ends.

What may differ

How long a ticket lasts depends on the type: 75 minutes for the single ticket, 24 hours, 72 hours or 7 days for those period tickets, and 30 days from the day you start a 30-day ticket.

Common misconception

You need a new ticket every time you change between the metro and a bus.

What actually happens

SL's single ticket is valid for an unlimited number of trips with SL traffic during 75 minutes, so you can change vehicles within that time, according to SL.
