-There is no doubt that we will lose passengers. But we are convinced that many will continue to find the Arlanda Express is the best. Basically, you have to be positive that it will be competitive, and that passengers have more choices, "says Per Thor stone son, CEO of the Arlanda Express.
"This is typical of our customer group SL. 35% of our travellers have a monthly card and for the travelling public, it becomes less expensive to travel with SL in comparison with our tickets, "said John Strand, Managing Director for buses.
On 4 december, County Councillor Club ticket ­priserna for the new commuter rail line. It goes to Arlanda airport and stops on all commuter rail stations between Munich in the South and Uppsala in the North.
SL has negotiated with the A-train, which operates the Arlanda Express, which owns Arlanda Station and ' lie-in ' on which passes through the station, to use them for commuter rail traffic.
If the proposal goes through, the Arlanda-travellers to come much cheaper off than before.
-The proposal is that the passage tax will be set at 75 kronor. This means that if you have a valid SL-ticket, you pay an additional fare of $ 75 to get on or off at Arlanda airport. This is the fee A-train takes off in order to make Arlanda station, says Karin Crawford, specialist press officer of SL.
The travel time between Stockholm Central and Arlanda lands on 38 minutes. It is slightly faster than going by air buses, but takes twice as long to travel on Arlanda Express.
"There are completely different things. We have little time and want to go from the Centre to choose the Arlanda Express. But many begin their journey somewhere else and then it might be easier to take the pendulum, says Karin Crawford.
Of competitor flygbussarna concerned for losing customers. The company think that SL distorts competition and has therefore notified the SL to the OFC.
-Competition will not take place through the use of tax money to compete with private firms, "said John Strand, Managing Director for buses.
On the Arlanda Express, who are paid for each SL-traveller who leave at Arlanda airport, is more sympathetic to the new commuter rail service.
According to SL is betting on the new direct route between Munich and Uppsala is not just about Arlanda.
-The reason that it has invested in this new line is that the two counties of Uppsala and Stockholm will be integrated. It will be easier to stay on one side of the provincial border and work in the other. It will certainly mean very much for those who live or work in it, "said Karin Crawford.
