Venue and distance from the city Stockholmsmässan – Exhibition & Congress Center Stockholmsmässan is the leading venue for international meetings and the largest meeting place in Scandinavia Details on commuter trains to and from Stockholmsmässan From the Central Station/T-Centralen (marked Stockholm C on the map), it’s just 10 minutes by commuter train to Älvsjö Sta- tion and Stockholmsmässan (marked Älvsjö, see map below). Peak hours are between 07.00-09.00 and 16.00-18.00. During peak hours at weekdays there are in total 14 departures per hours from Stockholm Central Station and from Älvsjö Sta- tion. One train every 5th minute. During peak hours at weekends there are 5 trains per hours, approximately one train every 12th minute. After 09.00 there are 9 trains per hours, more frequent then every 10th minute. The commuter trains are clean, modern, comfortable and silent. They are easy to find, reliable, fast and environmentally friendly, now that’s an unbeatable combination! Note that the delegates travel in the opposite direction both to and from Stockholmsmässan unlike all commuters in Stockholm. From Arlanda Airport delegates can go directly to and from Stockholmsmässan with the commuter train. This train will depart 2 times per hour and takes 50 minutes. (T stands for Tube) Public transportation Stockholm is often praised for its comfortable, efficient and safe transportation. Stockholm Pub- lic Transport, SL, is responsible for buses, underground trains, commuter trains, trams and cer- tain ferry lines in Greater Stockholm. The underground is the easiest way to get around town. The city is divided into three zones, and zone tickets are good for several trips within the hour. Tickets can be purchased at SL Centers, underground platform barriers, newsagent kiosks or via SMS. It's not possible to pay cash for tickets on board buses in Stockholm. Most bus stops have ticket machines that take both coins and cards. Prepaid cards are the best alternative for those making few trips. It's also possible to buy 1, 3, or 7-day cards, which allow free travel in all zones during the validity period. Another alternative is the Stockholm Card, which allows free travel and free entry to 80 museums and attractions in the city. Stockholm Cards are valid for 24, 48 or 72 hours. A trip on the number 69 bus or number 7 tram is a superb way to discover Stockholm. The lines go out to Djurgården and major attractions like Skansen and the Vasa Museum. Stockholmers are always heedful of their beautiful surroundings, and this has led to many inner city buses running on eco-friendly fuels such as ethanol. The Stockholm underground is also known as the world's longest art gallery as so many of its stations are adorned with the works of different artists. .

Fifteen Years of Competition in Local Public Transport, Stockholm Sweden
Insert your chapter title on righthand pages 1 9TH CONFERENCE ON COMPETITION AND OWNERSHIP IN LAND TRANSPORT Fifteen years of competition in local public transport, Stockholm Sweden. Lars Nordstrand, Traffic Director, AB Storstockholms Lokaltrafik, Sweden 1. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Public transport of the capital of Sweden has been procured in competition since almost fifteen years. Quality to passengers has improved and cost has been reduced. Problems have occurred along the road. Experience and changing external conditions have continuously developed the way of working. Recent decisions in the board of SL – the PTA of Stockholm – confirm that this development will continue. Focus will now be on improved quality management, broadend competition, cost control and development of professional competence on both sides of the table. Below you will find an overview of the process from 1990 when the basic decisions were taken to 2004 when the board of SL adopted the principles of continued development of contracting of public transport. 2 Fifteen years of competition in local public transport, Stockholm Sweden 2. THE SWEDISH MODEL IN SUMMARY According to legislation from the late eighties local public transport in Sweden is the responsibility of regional authorities. There is a PTA (Public Transport Authority) in each of the 20 counties, of which Stockholm is one. The PTA is in most cases owned jointly by the county council and the municipalities. Normally the local transport services are financed partly by ticket revenue and partly by local taxation funds, the relation normally being 60/40 %. Bus and train operations are contracted out and performed by private companies.

Yttrande Till Trafikförvaltningen Gällande Trafikförändringar I SL
SAMMANTRÄDESPROTOKOLL 2021-06-07 Kommunstyrelsen §116 Dnr KS 2021-515 Yttrande till Trafikförvaltningen gällande trafikförändringar i SL-trafiken 2021/22 Beslut Kommunstyrelsen beslutar att godkänna tekniska kontorets förslag till yttrande som sitt eget och överlämnar det till Trafikförvaltningen. Kommunstyrelsen beslutar för egen del att tillägga följande till yttrandet: Buss 637 Norrtälje mot Singö, med avfärd 07:18 och ankomst till Hammarby Väddö 07:54. Denna tur används för elever söderifrån som ska till Norrsundsskolan. Bussen ankommer väldigt sällan före klockan 08:00 vilket gör att eleverna regelmässigt kommer några minuter för sent till skolstart som är 08:00. Bussen ska enligt tidtabell hinna släppa av vid Elmsta skola, Älmsta busstation och Hammarby inom ett tidsspann av tre minuter, vilket inte är rimligt med tanke på att denna tur har många resande till dessa hållplatser. Turen har tidigare anpassats något med hänsyn till skolstart, men inte tillräckligt. Buss 637 från Singö mot Norrtälje passerar på vardagar Grisslehamns skola klockan 13:29 respektive 15:59. Skoldagen slutar 14:30 för mellanstadiebarnen. De som har rätt till skolskjuts och som ska söderut måste alltså vänta 1,5 timme efter skolans slut. Så antingen får de välja annan skola eller skrivas in på fritids fast de egentligen inte har behov. Förslag till ändring: lägg till en tur eller möjligen senarelägg turen klockan 13:29. Sammanfattning av ärendet Trafikförvaltningen har översänt föreslag till trafikförändringar inför 2021/22. Trafikförvaltningen utarbetar varje år förslag till trafikförändringar i kollektivtrafikutbudet avseende nya linjer, linjesträckningar, turtäthet och trafikeringstid. Totalt berörs 11 busslinjer av föreslagna förändringar. Två busslinjer, linje 644 Mora vägskäl- Söderhall via Ledinge och linje 686 Norrtälje-Kista, föreslå läggas ned.

Note that the price level in Sweden might be viewed as high for many travelers. 2) People generally understand English well in Stockholm. 3) When going by taxi, always check the comparison price first. 4) Card is king. This is the most accepted payment method, although cash is often usable as well. 5) Public transport is well functioning in Stockholm and a good way of traveling around in the city.

The Subway Station the Subway System and the Subway Station Is An
The subway station Erik Aspengren, Architecture and Universal Design in the designer´s eye, Teacher: Jonas Andersson The subway system and the subway station is an environment with very high demands regarding usability, accessibility, sustainability and social inclusion. It is from a democratic point of view very important that this system works giving everyone access to the city and connect different parts of it. The subway station could easily be a claustrophobic and stressful environment for the human being, located in the underground with no sense of daylight. In a physical way the subway station have to deal with the complicated situation of bringing a lot of people from street level into to the underground and into a train. The station and subway system should also be able to work for all kinds of people inhabitants of the city as well as tourists and visitors, the users also have different ages, cultural backgrounds, and different kinds of disabilities. The subway station is located underground an environment that could be seen as hostile for the human, this creates extra high demands regarding sensory aspects. The materials have to be strong and durable as well as varied and relate to the human scale. The subway stations in Stockholm are often of a high quality, regarding art and architecture and are called “The longest art exhibition in the world”. In this work I want to experience and investigate the environment in the subway system with emphasis on the station. The central questions are: what kind of spatial elements bring sensory qualities to this environ- ment, and how is it made accessible in a physical way? The work is mainly based on photographs taken dur- ing travelling on the red and green line a weekday.
