Every Thirty Days

Today I spent 600 SEK (about 64.50 EUR) for a new SL 30-dagarskort.

With it I can travel by bus, night bus, Tunnelbana, Pendeltåg, Djurgardenfärjan and some other commuter trains for the next 30 days. The ticket is valid 24/7 everywhere in Stockholm County so that it is even possible to do longer trips (e.g. to Vaxholm, an island in Stockholm's skärgård).

But nevertheless the price is much (~ 6 times) higher than the student ticket in Bielefeld which has probably a comparable coverage.

Allegedly, a majority of Stockholm's students think that the ticket is too expensive. That's why SSCO (The Federation of Student Unions in Stockholm) started a campaign to convince Storstockholms Localtrafik ("SL") to establish a student discount. They already collected more than 18 000 signatures, but nevertheless politicians and SL still disapprove of a discount.
