Sweden – a pocket guide
letter, otherwise you may not continue driving it. Call and
ask for an appointment at least one month in advance.
There is often a long queue.
Other vehicles
There are many other ways of getting from place to place.
Swedish cities often have special bicycle tracks where
cyclists need not deal with motor traffic. Cities are generally
served by many local bus routes. If you take the bus
frequently, it is less expensive to buy a monthly pass or
other discount ticket rather than buy a separate ticket for
each trip.
For longer trips, you can choose to travel by air, train or
bus. A wide range of discount tickets is available that can
cut the cost of your trip – ask at a railway station, bus station
or travel agency, or check on the Internet.
