Transport in Stockholm

Metro trains at Slussen

Transport in Stockholm consists of an extensive and well-developed transport network, integrating both public and private services across the city and surrounding county. Stockholm regularly ranks as having one of the best public transport systems in the world.[1][2][3]

Public transport is managed primarily by Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL), which is owned by Region Stockholm.[4] SL oversees a wide range of services, including buses, the metro, commuter rail, light rail, local rail, and commuter ferries. SL's network uses a unified ticketing system, while operation and maintenance of SL's services are managed by various contracted companies.

In addition to SL, several other public and private operators provide regional and inter-city rail connections, long-distance buses, and Waxholmsbolaget archipelago boat services.

Airport transport services in Stockholm are provided by both public and private operators. SL offers commuter rail connections to Arlanda Airport and tram services to Bromma Airport, along with some local bus routes serving Arlanda. Private operators include Flygbussarna, which runs airport bus services, and the Arlanda Express, providing a high-speed train link to Arlanda Airport.
