Public transport in Sweden is systematic and includes a wide range of services: bus, tram, train, metro and ferries for shorter inter-island voyages. Most of the cities, including Stockholm and Gothenburg have good public transport systems that link different places both within and around the city. Tickets are required to be ordered just like any other form of travel from regional travel agencies since they are hardly sold onboard.
If one intends to travel over longer distances, the most common method is by train (SJ), and the majority of the geography is accessible by such mode of travel. Measures are taken to keep accidents to a minimum, with measures such as no smoking in any mode of public transport and only allowing hand luggage.
Sweden is also active in this area by modernizing the public transport system alongside the bikes in the city. It is important to note that when traveling abroad, for example to Sweden from Denmark, passport control is in place.
Moreover, ferries also have a great significance with regards to the transport system as several islands such as Gotland are frequently served with public transport ferries and thus it can be ideal for travel in big cities as well as in more rural or far off places. In particular, traveling families with children are offered special advantages such as lower fares and more comfort.
