Ticket information
Many municipalities offer their senior citizens who are registered in the population register free travel within their municipal zone with Västtrafik’s Senior citizen card. The terms and conditions vary between municipalities.
The senior citizen account on the card is personal to you and you must be able to show identification at a ticket inspection. You can load other Västtrafik products onto the Senior citizen card (such as pay-as-you-go). If the ticket is not a personal ticket, you can let someone else use it for travel.
If you have a Senior citizen card, three people under 20 can travel with you for free. Great for a trip out with the grandchildren!
