As of today, Sunday, Blekinge traffic uses a new ticket system. The Travel Planner and Quick Ticket apps are removed. You should now only use the Blekinge Traffic app. Through it, children, young people, students and seniors receive a discount regardless of ticket type.

Traveling without an app

If you want, or can not use the Blekinge traffic app, you can still travel with the red travel card with travel cash within Blekinge.

"The old ticket system will remain until last February," says Anna Claesson, marketing and sales manager at Blekingetrafiken.

So there is no rush to get rid of their travel card. But in 2020 it will be replaced with a new green card that is loaded with tickets instead of money.

Traveling outside Blekinge

From today you can also buy tickets to and from Skåne, Copenhagen, Kalmar and Kronoberg through the Blekingetrafiken app.

But for journeys across the county borders without an app, the usual charge card applies. The red travel card is only valid for travel within Blekinge.

Eventually, the current ticket machines will be replaced with new ones. The reason for leaving the old ticket system is because it is out of date.

- We have to replace it. It has been a long time now, but it has started to collapse, says Anna Claesson.
