Most transportation within Stockholm utilizes the Metro public transportation
system (rail, bus, and ferry) and taxi service. Public transportation is
especially convenient once you are inside the city of Stockholm. Parking
and traffic flow within Stockholm can be problematic - especially for newcomers.
Public transportation and taxi service are recommended for visitors to the
city. This page has been updated to provide general information on how to
get around Stockholm in addition on how to get to our offices.

| Metro Connections and Fares |
|
The Stockholm Metro comprises all public transportation within
Stockholm Län (Stockholm County). This includes Pendeltåg
(commuter rail), Tunnelbanan (underground/subway), Buss (bus), and
several inner city ferries (make sure there is a metro logo in order
to use metro tickets and passes). Metro transportation is identified
by "T", "J", "BussLink",
or "SL" logos at the station entrances and ticket
counters.
Intercity rail and coach service connects to the Stockholm Metro
hub at Stockholm Centrum (Sergels Torg) formed by the Stockholm
Central Station (rail), Cityterminalen (intercity bus and airport
coach), and T-Centralen (tunnelbanan) stations. All three stations
are connected by underground walkways and are within a short five
minute walk of each other. There are taxi stands located by each
station. Currency exchange bureaus are located in the Central Station.
Metro passes may be purchased from any Pressbyrån shop (located
at all rail stations). Metro coupons may be purchased from the SL
ticket counters and automatic machines (although some accept paper
Swedish currency and credit cards, many only accept Swedish coins).
Metro coupons are only valid for travel within Stockholm County
(which includes Farsta Strand) and are valid for a single one-way
journey.
Metro Coupons
Minimum fare is two coupons and the maximum fare is five coupons.

ferry service on one trip) and are valid for a single one-way trip
for up to 1-Hour. Coupons must be stamped (validated) at the beginning
of each trip. Coupons may be purchased from bus drivers and SL ticket

|
| Buss (Public Bus) - Metro |
|
The public bus system in Stockholm is extensive. Metro transportation
maps are available at the SL information centers located in the
the Central Station and in T-Centralen. There are no direct busses
from Stockholm Centrum to Farsta Centrum or Farsta Strand. If you
take the Tunnelbanan to Farsta Centrum, there are four busses that
will take you to the Morgana Hotel and Auldenfire Offices:
Take bus 184, 828, 830, or 831 to the Edsvallabacken
stop from Farsta Centrum. Busses 830 and 831 are the quickest (about
five minutes).
Tickets may be purchased with credit card or
Swedish currency from the ticket counters and automatic ticket machines.
Tickets may also be purchased from the bus driver with Swedish currency
(drivers do not carry large amounts of change).

| Taxi |
|
There are a number of taxi companies operating in Stockholm, Taxi
Kurir and Stockholm Transfer typically provide the best fares (from
our experience). Whenever you use a taxi, make sure that you ask
about the fare before the driver departs for your destination. If
you call a taxi by telephone, have the operator quote you a price
to your destination and verify the quoted price with the driver.
Both Taxi Kurir and Stockholm Transfer offer fixed rate fares within
the Stockholm area. Meter fares can sometimes be cheaper for short
trips of under 500 m to 1 km; however, if you run into traffic,
the fixed fare savings can quickly add up. Traffic tends to get
congested in the inner city and during commuter hours - especially
on the highways and bridges connecting north and south Stockholm.
There are numerous taxi stands located throughout the city and you
can order a taxi by telephone (most business establishments will
order one for you upon request):
Taxi Kurir
Telephone: +46 (0)8 30 00 00
Stockholm Transfer
Telephone: +46 (0)8 33 20 00
The following two companies are reliable and readily available
in Stockholm, but typically charge slightly higher fares (they also
only provide limited fixed fare service):
Taxi Stockholm (Only offers limited
fixed fares)
Telephone: +46 (0)8 15 00 00
Taxi 020 (Only offers limited
fixed fares)
Telephone: +46 (0)20 93 93 93
When picking up a taxi at a taxi stand, you are not required to
choose the first taxi in line - you may choose the taxi company
that you want to use. Taxi Kurir and Stockholm Transfer will typically
provide the lowest fares (We also recommend these two companies
within the Stockholm area). All four companies have large taxi fleets
and can provide reasonable response times when called by telephone
(usually about five to ten minutes).
Never use an unlicensed taxi (taxi is not properly marked or the
driver's taxi license is not displayed in plain sight - legitimate
taxis have a yellow license plate with black numbers/letters and
have taxi company logos painted on the car). A number of "black"
taxis operate in Stockholm, some of which have been known to rob
their fares at gun point and leave them stranded.
Taxi fares may be paid with credit card or Swedish currency.
