What’s the public transport like in Sweden?

Public transport in Sweden is (usually) efficient, clean, and well-connected. Major cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö have extensive networks of buses, trams, trains, and metros. You can use apps like SL (Stockholm) or Västtrafik (Gothenburg), Skånetrafiken (Skåne) to plan your journey and buy tickets. Buses and trains are generally punctual, and in some areas, you can even catch a ferry as part of your commute. There's usually generous discounts for seniors and students, both on single tickets as well as weekly or monthly travel passes. And don't fall for the temptation of not buying a ticket - or you'll risk getting quite hefty fines.
