For tourists

Welcome to Västtrafik!

We are West Sweden’s public transport company. Our routes stretch from Strömstad and the Norwegian border in the North to Svenljunga in the South, from the outermost islands west of Göteborg, to Vätterstranden in the East, and everything in between.

Västtrafik is the second largest public transport company in Sweden and handles all public transport in the Västra Götaland county. With us, you can travel by bus, train, tram or boat.

There are a lot of interesting places to see along our routes: Läckö Castle, Karlsborg Fortress, Lake Hornaborga (Hornborgasjön) and Liseberg Amusement Park in Göteborg are just a few examples. So hop on board, sit back, and enjoy the ride!

Tickets

There are several ways to buy tickets. The easiest way is to buy a cash ticket/one-way ticket from the bus driver. However in the Göteborg, Mölndal and Partille areas, you cannot buy tickets from the driver. Instead you need to buy your ticket from newsagents such as Pressbyrån, 7-Eleven or anywhere displaying the Västtrafik sign. You can also buy tickets by text message (if you have a Swedish mobile phone operator).

If you are going to be doing a lot of travelling, then buying a short-term top-up card is the best option. This card enables you to travel wherever you want within specified areas, and as much as you want, within one or three 24-hour periods. They are valid on all Västtrafik vehicles, including all trains except the X2000.

Please bear in mind that not all vehicles have card readers, so always have your receipt with you.

Anybody aged 20 or older travelling with these cards can have up to three youths under the age of 20 travelling with them.

There are cards that have one or three 24-hour periods. There are different cards for travel within Göteborg, the greater Göteborg area, as well as the Västra Götaland region.
