Public Transport in Stockholm
SL is responsible for the public transport in the county of Stockholm: Metro, buses, commuter trains, suburban railways
When travelling on the One hour zone ticket, you need to keep in mind which zones you will travel in. Using travel cards, you can travel as much as you like, regardless of zone boundaries.
You can buy tickets and travel cards at the SL Centers (e.g. by the central station, Sergels Torg, Slussen, Fridhemsplan) or at many ticket agents such as Pressbyrån or other news agents. A SL flag or sticker will tell you whether they sell tickets or not. You can also purchase prepaid tickets at 7- Eleven. Important - you cannot buy tickets on the buses. 1. The most convenient is to travel with a 3 or 7 day travel card (SEK 200/260). Travel cards are not limited to one person's use and can be lent to others if you are not using it yourself.
2. If you will use public transport less than 8 times during your stay, you might opt for prepaid tickets - a slip with 16 units (SEK 180) that will give you 8 one way trips within zone A (where the workshop and all the dances will be).
3. In addition to travel cards and prepaid tickets, you have more ticket options:
Buy a vending machine ticket at many of the bus stops or a cash ticket at he ticket counter in the subway. SEK 20 per tripp.
