That’s how expensive the SL card can be next year

Therefore, SL wants to raise the price

One reason for the proposed price increase is that Stockholm’s public transport lost passengers during the pandemic who have not returned to traveling by public transport, writes Dagens Nyheter.

The effect of the increase is estimated to be close to SEK 180 million. According to the traffic administration, an increase of 30 percent would be required to cover the entire deficit, but the effect of such an increase is uncertain as there is a risk that fewer people travel with Stockholm’s public transport.

Then the proposal must be presented

In the budget basis, there is uncertainty about the economy for the next two years.

– Lower travel, hard-to-forecast external factors and the generally strained economic situation are the single biggest risks in the budget documents for 2024, writes the traffic administration.

On Tuesday, the politicians in the Transport Committee will take a position on the proposals in the budget documents.
