Is the SL fare the same for the metro, bus and commuter train?

What one SL ticket covers and where it stops covering.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, one SL single ticket for SEK 43 covers the metro, buses and pendeltåg for 75 minutes, so you pay the same whichever you use. The pendeltåg is covered up to Bålsta and Gnesta, while trips to Uppsala, Knivsta and Arlanda need a special ticket. A reduced single ticket costs SEK 26.

Why

  1. The single ticket is valid for trips with SL traffic for 75 minutes, according to SL.
  2. The adult price is SEK 43 and the reduced price SEK 26, according to SL.
  3. The ticket works on the pendeltåg up to Bålsta and Gnesta, while Uppsala, Knivsta and Arlanda need a special ticket, according to SL.

Details

Visit Stockholm confirms that a single ticket is valid for 75 minutes and costs SEK 43, and that SL runs buses, underground trains, commuter trains, trams and certain ferry lines in Greater Stockholm. Cash cannot be used on buses. For payment see how to pay for SL in Stockholm, and for stops and terminals see public transport stops and bus terminals in Stockholm.

Tip

Use one ticket for the whole journey and change freely within the 75 minutes, instead of buying a new ticket for each mode.

What may differ

Where you travel matters: the single ticket covers SL traffic and the pendeltåg to Bålsta and Gnesta, but trips to Uppsala, Knivsta and Arlanda need a special ticket, and people at the reduced price pay SEK 26.

Common misconception

The metro is more expensive than the bus.

What actually happens

SL's single ticket is valid for trips with SL traffic for 75 minutes, so one ticket covers both the metro and buses, according to SL.
