Buses in Stockholm County are a key part of the public transport system in the Stockholm area, which includes the city of Stockholm and its surrounding municipalities. The bus network is managed by Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL), the public transport authority responsible for coordination and ticketing of all transit services in the county, including buses, local rail, the Stockholm Metro, commuter trains, and some busses. SL operates under the jurisdiction of Region Stockholm, which oversees transport policy and contracts with private operators to run the services.[1]
The bus network extends across Stockholm County, providing connections between urban and suburban areas, as well as linking outlying municipalities. SL contracts various private companies such as Keolis, VR Sverige, Nobina, Transdev, and Stockholms Spårvägar to operate the buses through public procurement processes that ensure services are efficient and integrated with the wider public transport system.[2]
