Railway lines and bus routes, 2002






Passenger traffic by train and bus 2002
In 2002 there are a number of companies operating passenger services by train. All these companies use a railway network that is administered by a government agency, The National Rail Administration. The latest railway lines to be opened are the Gr�dinge line, opened in 1994/95, the M�lar and the Svealand lines, opened in 1997 and the Arlanda line, opened in 1999.

Work is also in progress on the Botnia line, the �resund line and the City tunnel in Malm�. Most passenger traffic follows regular timetables, but there are lines which only provide tourist services in the summer season. The longest of these lines is the Inland Railway.

To make travelling for passengers easier most of the railway companies use a joint ticket-selling system called T�gplus, which sells tickets for more than 2,000 places as well as tickets for connecting buses and boats.

The largest railway companies are SJ and T�gkompaniet. The map does not show railway lines that are used solely for freight or not at all.
