What is the SL app and which tickets can you buy in it?
What the app does, which tickets it sells and what you buy in other ways.
Short answer
The official SL app lets you plan trips and buy most SL tickets, either as an app ticket or loaded onto an SL card. Single tickets can also be bought by tapping a bank card, and tickets are sold over the counter at several places in Stockholm County. Not every ticket can be bought in the app yet.
Why
- The official SL app can be downloaded for Android and iPhone, and with it you can search journeys, buy tickets and get traffic updates, according to SL.
- Most SL tickets can be bought in the app, either as an app ticket or onto an SL card, and the app also shows what is stored on the card, according to SL.
- Not all tickets can be bought in the app yet, and single tickets can also be bought by tapping a payment card on the reader, according to SL.
Details
Tickets for an SL card can be bought in the app, in a ticket kiosk or from an agent. If you have a monthly subscription as an app ticket, you can lend it digitally in the app while you are not using it yourself. For prices and payment methods see how to pay for SL in Stockholm, and for everyday costs in the city see what it costs to live in Stockholm.
Tip
Buy your ticket before you travel, because SL requires a valid ticket when you travel. If something goes wrong, SL customer service answers on 08 600 10 00 around the clock.
What may differ
The reduced price is for people under 20, from 65 and students who meet SL's requirements, and some tickets, such as UL/SL tickets, exist only at full price.
Common misconception
You must have the SL app to travel with SL.
What actually happens
A single ticket can also be bought by tapping a bank card on the ticket reader, or over the counter at several places in Stockholm County, according to SL.
