Transport systems

Bus

There are a vast amount of bus lines in Stockholm County. There are mainly four different kinds of bus lines.

• Inner-city blue bus lines
• Suburban blue bus lines
• Regular bus lines
• Service bus lines

The blue bus lines are trunk lines, in the inner city variant traversing large parts of the Stockholm inner city, and in the suburban variant acting as a main connection between the central parts of Stockholm and the suburbs. These are called blue bus lines because the busses that operate on them are painted blue, in contrast to the red color of the regular buses. The service bus lines are especially adapted for elderly people, and are found in several residential areas. Along some stretches of these lines instead of regular bus stops there are areas where one can halt the bus just by waving at them.
