Public Transport

Public Transport

Uppsala’s city centre is compact making it easy to walk around and very bicycle-friendly too. You can rent a bike and just follow the manicured bike paths. Uppland’s regional buses UL (Upplands Lokaltrafik) are responsible for public transport in Uppsala county, i.e. the local city buses and the yellow regional buses. Mälartåg operates the regional train service in the greater region. The UL tickets are valid for travel with City buses, Regional buses, Mälartåg on the Uppsala-Sala, Uppsala-Gävle and Uppsala-Arlanda/Märsta routes, as well as the SL shuttle on the Uppsala-Knivsta-Arlanda route. UL offers tickets with several different validity options, ranging from 75 minutes to a whole year. There are many different ways to buy your tickets, for example, through the UL mobile app, through a UL Card (where you load your Travel Funds), or from the ticket machines at all major transport hubs. You can also pay when boarding the bus or train, but only with credit/debit cards. The UL Centre is located in Uppsala Central Station, where you can get information and help regarding tickets and transport.
