According to Borås stad, school transport is available for students in preschool class and grades 1-9 based on distance, traffic conditions, disability, or other special circumstances. The minimum distance from home to the assigned school for eligibility is 2 kilometers for preschool class and grades 1-3, and 3 kilometers for grades 4-9. Distance is measured along the nearest walking and cycling path between the student's home and school or boarding point.
However, students who have chosen a school other than the one the municipality would have assigned them are not entitled to school transport, regardless of distance. It remains unclear what happens if an application is submitted after the deadline, or how traffic conditions and specific disabilities are evaluated to determine eligibility.
