Buying tickets and passes
App, travel card, bank card or machine: the ways to pay for public transport and which one suits you.
Ways to pay
| Way | Good for | Watch out |
|---|---|---|
| Operator’s app | All ticket types, discounts, period tickets | Activate before boarding; phone battery |
| Travel card (e.g. SL-kort) | Period tickets without a smartphone | Load it at agents or in the app |
| Tapping a bank card | Occasional single trips (SL, Skånetrafiken city buses) | Usually adult price only |
| Agents and machines | Cash or card purchases | Not every stop has one |
