A one way ticket is 42 SEK and is valid for 75 minutes giving you plenty of time to get to your destination. In Stockholm you only need to tap a card to the readers entering the bus, subway or boat. You can use your phone and smart phone wallets to tap your card.
No queueing for tickets
This is very smart as you never have to go to a booth or kiosk to get a ticket (only for some passes) and that speeds up the entering in to your transportation.
Plan your trip using SL-app
The SL-app (SL is the company responsible for the transportations) or being online is a great way to plan your trip. The app will tell you where to go to get your ride, what time and where to go off. If you need to walk the app will tell you that too.
You can also put in a query that you need to be at your destination at an certain time and the app (or online) will let you know when you have to travel to make your schedule.
