SL – STOCKHOLM PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Stockholm is often praised for its comfortable, efficient and safe public transportation. Stockholm Public
Transport, SL, is responsible for buses, underground
trains, commuter trains, trams and certain ferry lines in
Greater Stockholm.
The underground is the easiest way to get around town.
The city is divided into three zones, and zone tickets are
good for several trips within the hour. Tickets can be
purchased at SL Centers, underground platform barriers, newsagent kiosks or via SMS. It’s not possible to
pay cash for tickets on board buses in Stockholm. Some
bus stops have ticket machines that take both coins and
cards.
As a full-time student you are entitled to a reduced price
for the monthly travel card, valid for all the public transportation in Stockholm. The card covers travel with SL
22
24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout Stockholm
County. The student travel card is available for 30 or 90
days. A student travel card, which is loaded onto an SL
Access card, is not tied to a particular individual, and
anyone can purchase it. However, when travelling and
at ticket inspections, you must be prepared to show your
identification and a valid student ID. You must have a
valid student ID for the entire period that your student
travel card is valid. If your student ID expires during
the term, you need to obtain a new one before you can
continue to use your student travel pass. Acceptable
student ID cards are Studentkortet and Mecenatkortet, both
available as a digital app. All approved forms of student
ID bear the SL logo.
Since you will receive your student ID card only after
your official registration, you will need to buy full-price
tickets until your obtain the student ID card.
