I was looking at SL.se for options to get a public transport card. The first thing you hear blows you away: 690 SEK for a month. All lines, I know, but.. 70€?? You could go to London for that money… 4 times back and forth!

The main options are

• the 30 days card - 690 SEK
• Season card, which gets you from September to December with 2670 SEK
• Student card, which gets you from September to December with 1780 SEK

I arrived yesterday in Sweden (August 14th), and I stayed with a friend in just outside Uppsala for the first night. 800 SEK for the cab fare all the way from Arlanda. It’s a huge price, but I’ve never taken a cab before. And this time, with 43 kg following me, I think it was needed.

Got up and took the train to Stockholm. Left my two suitcases in the lockers there: 50 SEK for the big one, 40 SEK for the small one. I think this is the fee for 24 hours “hosting”.
