Fares & passes

One ticket covers every mode. What you pay depends on how many zones you cross — the City, the isles, or all the way out to the North Sound. No zones, no surcharges for changing between metro, tram and ferry.

Zones

Three zones, one network

Zone 1

City

All metro and tram stations, including North Harbour.

Single fare 4.60 kr

Zone 2

Isles

Skarv Isle, Lund Isle, Sealskerry and Cliff Isle.

Single fare 6.90 kr

Zone 3

Outer isles

Great Isle and Beacon Holme.

Single fare 9.20 kr

Journeys that cross a zone boundary are charged for every zone they touch. A journey from Central Station to Lund Isle crosses into Zone 2, so it costs 6.90 kr; a sailing on to Beacon Holme costs 9.20 kr.

Fare cap. Pay as you go with a contactless card or phone and your day is capped at the Day Pass price — you never pay more than 11.50 kr (City) or 23.00 kr (all zones) in one day.
