Can understand what you say on the metro o e trip ticket. How much is a one trip ticket and how far can I go? Do you have a map of those 3 zones?

I have to both agree and disagree to some comments, there are still coach companies, minibus hire companies and limo hire companies with better transportation service, I often travel down from London to Stockhom to meet my mother and I use BM Coach Hire, and I must say, they are having worlds most finest coach hire, minibus hire and limo hire service, which costs me almost nothing during I am traveling across Europe.

You might give it a try too and then tell everyone, not all coach companies are bad!

Thanks

Plus those controllers are dressed in plain clothes waiting for people to jump the turn styles. Quite sneaky they are.

The buses are the worst, and getting caught not paying is an expensive lesson.

watch out too! They are real tough there on people trying to jump on without paying! I saw people checking all the time!

Very good addition! SL does great work in extending those zones out quite a ways. Plus, as you travel through more zones they give you more time on your ticket as well, which is quite helpful considering the distance you might end up traveling.

Hey, really useful gen there Marcus. Perhaps worth pointing out that the SL ticket system with those three zones A, B, C also allows you to use not just the métro (called Tunnelbana in Swedish) but also the regular SJ trains too. There are eight local train routes (Lokalbanor) that are entirely within Zones A, B and C (all easily identified as they have the route prefix L), Then there are three longer distance routes that head on out beyond the boundaries of Zone C, but where SL tickets are valid out as far as the outer edge of Zone C. These three routes have the prefix J. That outer edge of Zone C is quite some way out from the city: as far as Nynashamn in the southeast and Bro in the northwest.
