New rail saver ticket to be introduced for Copenhagen and Skåne regions
The new saver ticket, available from March 31st, replaces the discontinued
Öresund runt
("around the Öresund") ticket but does not fully cover the same route.
The ticket, which has a validity period of 48 hours, can be used by either tourists or residents in the region.
The
Öresund runt
ticket was discontinued after the ferry company operating between Helsingborg and Helsingør withdrew from the collaboration after 23 years. Public transport operator Skånetrafiken has now developed a ticket that partially replaces it, Swedish newspaper
Sydsvenskan
writes.
'We looked at the
Öresund runt
ticket. This almost replaces it but without the ferry crossing. The new ticket lasts for 48 hours instead of the previous two calendar days, allowing travellers to start their journey in the evening,' Patrik Engfors, head of partnerships at Skånetrafiken, told Sydsvenskan.

The price for 48 hours of unlimited travel within Skånetrafiken's network on the Swedish side of the Öresund is 299 Swedish kronor (200 Danish kroner), while a ticket covering both Skåne and Denmark costs 599 kronor (415 kroner) and is valid in the Copenhagen region, extending all the way to popular destinations like Helsingør and Gilleleje on the northern Zealand coast.
The ticket will remain available after the summer season.
The travel pass will be available on the Skånetrafiken app from March 31st.
