To facilitate travel, passengers commuting between Gothenburg and Mölndal are advised to use tram lines 2 and 4. Tram services will be reinforced with additional departures when the train tracks are completely closed. If you are travelling further south with Västtåg and Öresundståg, you should transfer from the tram to the train at Mölndal. Öresundståg will also provide replacement buses between Gothenburg and the stations along the Västkustbanan.
