Is an SL card personal, and can you share a ticket?

What SL says about whose ticket it is, lending a ticket and reduced prices.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

SL says you must have the right to use the ticket you travel on, and the only lending it describes is a monthly app subscription lent in the SL app. Reduced-price tickets are for people who qualify, such as those under 20, from 65 and students.

Why

  1. SL requires a valid ticket and also that you have the right to use the ticket you travel on, according to SL.
  2. A monthly subscription held as an app ticket can be lent digitally in the SL app when you are not using it yourself, according to SL.
  3. The reduced price is for people under 20, people from 65 and students who meet SL's requirements, and some tickets such as UL/SL tickets exist only at full price, according to SL.

Details

A person over 18 with an SL ticket can take up to six children aged 7 to 11 free of charge, and children under 7 travel free with a person who has a valid ticket. A student must be able to show a valid student ID with the SL logo to use the reduced price.

Tip

If you have a monthly subscription as an app ticket, use the lending function in the SL app. For any other ticket, ask SL customer service on 08 600 10 00 before you let someone else use it.

What may differ

Your age and status decide which ticket you may use: the reduced price applies to people under 20, from 65 and to students with a valid student ID showing the SL logo, and everyone else pays the adult price.

Common misconception

Any SL ticket can be lent to a friend.

What actually happens

SL describes lending only for a monthly subscription held as an app ticket, done in the SL app, and says you must have the right to use the ticket you travel on.

  • Is Uber or Bolt cheaper in Stockholm?

    Neither Uber nor Bolt publishes a fixed Stockholm fare, so which is cheaper depends on the trip and the moment, and the app estimates are the way to compare.
