The Social Democrats in Stockholm propose free SL cards for all high school students, arguing that the current 6-kilometer distance rule is arbitrary and influences school choices, according to Mitti. In Halland, the party proposes free public transport for young people up to age 20 on holidays, weekends, and evenings, and for seniors aged 70 and over at all times. In Skåne, they propose a monthly ticket for unlimited travel for 500 SEK, with reduced rates of 300 SEK for young people and seniors, to be implemented from 2027.
In Skåne, the Social Democrats estimate the cost of the flat-rate ticket at 300-400 million SEK annually, according to the party. They also propose a tax increase, though the amount is unclear; in the 2026 budget proposal they wanted to increase by 67 öre. Henrik Fritzon, group leader for the Social Democrats in Region Skåne, said at a press conference that they will make it radically cheaper to travel with Skånetrafiken.
He noted that Skånetrafiken has made a large surplus in recent years, with a result of 803 million SEK this year, providing financial opportunities. Fritzon added that it will naturally be a cost the first few years, but the ambition is that in the long term it will finance itself through increased tax revenues because more people can get jobs and increased growth. In Stockholm, the Moderates propose increasing the price of the regular monthly ticket by 30 SEK, the discounted monthly ticket by 80 SEK, and the single ticket by 1 SEK, and introducing a price cap after multiple purchases.
They also propose more buses and trains, a safety package, 400 million SEK more for public transport, and a flex ticket for part-time commuters. The Left Party proposes lowering all SL fares, with young people, students, and seniors paying 375 SEK per month. The Sweden Democrats propose a price cap on single tickets, integrating e-scooters into the SL ticket, extending single ticket validity to 120 minutes, and allowing travel across the entire county on one ticket.
The Christian Democrats propose a price cap on single tickets, removing free annual cards for politicians, introducing a 30% discount for all region employees, accepting SL card as payment at all park-and-ride facilities, making SL tickets valid on Mälartåg within the region, and establishing direct bus lines to Arlanda airport with regular SL tickets. The Liberals propose a price cap on single tickets. 9%, according to multiple reports.
Per Svensson, top candidate for the Social Democrats in Halland, said at a press conference that they see the situation in Halland quite seriously and that it is not worthy of Halland as a region to have such weak figures. He criticized the current Moderate-led alliance for being passive on public transport and raising prices. Laholmspartiet and Maryam Barkadehi have submitted a motion to the municipal council for a subsidized senior ticket, aiming for a price around 200 SEK per month.
