Purchase and payment of period tickets

You can buy period tickets in Västtrafik stores, at Västtrafik’s agents and as mobile tickets in the Västtrafik To Go app. In some areas, period tickets are also sold on board. Period tickets that are not purchased using the Västtrafik To Go app must be loaded onto a Västtrafik card.

Activating a period ticket

Flexible start date

A flexible start date means that the ticket is not activated until the first time it is read by a card reader. Flexible period tickets must be activated within 30 days of the date of purchase and are valid from the time they are activated until 23:59 pm on the final day of validity. A period ticket that has not been activated within 30 days from the date of purchase is regarded to be fully used.

Fixed start date

With a fixed start date, you decide at the time of purchase what date the period will begin, but this must be within 30 days from the date of purchase. This applies both to period tickets on a Västtrafik card and in the Västtrafik To Go app. Fixed period tickets are valid from 00:00 on the first day of validity to 23:59 pm on the final day of validity. Period tickets on a Västtrafik card that are valid for 90 and 365 days are only available with a fixed start date.

It is important to be aware that the terms and conditions at the time of activation for each period ticket are the ones applicable. For example, if you buy youth tickets just before your 20th birthday but do not activate them until after your 20th birthday, they are not valid for you. You will then have to exchange the ticket at a Västtrafik store.

Exchanges and refunds of period tickets

You can exchange a period ticket for any other ticket product within 30 days of purchase if it has not yet been activated. If you have already activated the period ticket, you can exchange it for another ticket product within 24 hours of activation. A period ticket can be refunded if Västtrafik changes the transport services available. In this case, the services available must have changed more than you could reasonably have been expected at the time of purchase. The change must also have a major impact on you. In such cases, the value remaining at the time of the refund will be repaid.

A refund for a period ticket for 90 or 365 days, which is not linked to a change in the transport services available, can be made on the basis of a special settlement. The commenced 30-day period is considered completed, and you may, based on the settlement, receive compensation for the remaining value of the period ticket in the form of an electronic code or voucher. When requesting a refund, you must provide written consent for Västtrafik to complete the refund and pay out the remaining value. 

Period ticket validity

You can see the validity period of your period ticket and the zone or zones for which it is valid on the receipt, at a card reader or on a validity receipt. For more information about our various period tickets and the areas in which they are valid, visitVästtrafik’s website.
