Can you use a UL ticket on the Mälartåg?

Where UL single tickets are accepted on Mälartåg and what to activate.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, but only on some routes: UL single tickets are valid on Mälartåg between Uppsala and Sala, between Uppsala and Gävle, and between Uppsala and Arlanda or Märsta. UL says it has ticket cooperation agreements with other operators such as SL, X-trafik and Mälartåg.

Why

  1. According to UL, single and 24-hour tickets are valid on Mälartåg between Uppsala-Sala, Uppsala-Gävle and Uppsala-Arlanda/Märsta.
  2. UL's terms say it has ticket cooperation agreements with other transport operators such as SL, X-trafik and Mälartåg.
  3. According to UL's terms, for train travel the ticket must be valid and activated at the actual departure time.

Details

UL's single tickets are also valid on the SL commuter train between Uppsala, Knivsta and Arlanda. People aged 18 and over pay a passage fee for trains to and from Arlanda C, paid in the gate at Arlanda. For the airport, see Arlanda and alternatives, and for customs at Arlanda, see what to declare at Arlanda.

Tip

Activate your UL ticket in the UL app before the train departs, and check that your route is one of the three that UL lists.

What may differ

UL lists only three Mälartåg routes, so for other Mälartåg routes check with UL or Mälartåg. Bus 801 and 880 to and from Arlanda need a period ticket or a special single ticket.

Common misconception

A UL ticket is valid on every Mälartåg train.

What actually happens

UL lists Mälartåg between Uppsala and Sala, Gävle, and Arlanda or Märsta as the routes where its single tickets are valid.

    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.
