During the weekend for Piteå Summer Games, a heat wave swept over Norrbotten.

The event and lack of air conditioning resulted in several canceled departures for Länstrafiken Norrbotten.

- We have had trouble with AC on the buses and then we did not want to send out buses and it gets way too hot in them.

Several buses were in the workshop, which also led to canceled trips.

We naturally regret for our travelers that it has become troublesome, says acting CEO Ingela Karlsson.

"A service profession to be proud of"

But the problems at Länstrafiken have been going on for a long time.

- In general in Sweden, bus drivers are a shortage, not only in Norrbotten.

We must ensure that we are an attractive workplace.

This is a service profession, something you should continue to be proud of.

Hear Ingela Karlsson explain why the negative trend must be reversed in Norrbotten.
