- We notice that very much. We have more than halved ticket revenues, ”says Östgötatrafiken's communications manager Eva Jylltorp.

The schedules have been revised so that in many places fewer trips are possible. In order to avoid congestion on the remaining tours, Östgötatrafiken places extra buses on popular departures.

Buses are located in several places in Östergötland ready to be deployed where it gets crowded. One difficulty is that the travel flow is so uneven. A departure that has too much congestion one day can be almost empty the next day.

No return to a more normal traveler has been noticed. Just as about two months ago, half of the passengers are missing.

Economically, this means that ticket revenue is also decimated to half of normal. The government's support package with a focus on public transport is appreciated, but is far from sufficient.

- All public transport is bleeding right now. The industry hopes for more money, says Jylltorp.
