Why

  1. According to Västtrafik, its area is divided into three zones called A, B and C, and zone A is the innermost one.
  2. Västtrafik says that travelling within one zone costs the same in every zone, while prices differ for travel between zones.
  3. According to Västtrafik, some stops near zone borders belong to two overlapping zones, in the combinations A/B and B/C.

Details

Zone B includes Ale, Alingsås, Härryda, Kungsbacka, Kungälv, Lerum, Lilla Edet, Stenungsund and Tjörn. A single ticket for one zone costs SEK 38 for adults in 2026, and the zone A ticket also covers Gothenburg's trams. For fares and card payment, see Västtrafik zones A, B and C and Västtrafik transport, and for general costs, see whether Sweden is expensive to visit.

Tip

Use the journey planner or the stop search on Västtrafik's website to check which zone a stop belongs to and the exact fare.

What may differ

Stops near zone borders can belong to two zones, so the zone and fare for a border stop depend on where you travel to.

Common misconception

A trip within zone C costs more than a trip within zone A.

What actually happens

According to Västtrafik, travel within one zone costs the same in every zone. Prices differ for travel between zones.
