Simple, fast and so much more. All in one. In our app you can buy all our different tickets.
The app also includes many smart features that make it easier to travel. Download the tabussen.nu app free of charge from the App Store or Google Play.
Smart features
In our app, you can buy several different types of tickets: period, punch and single tickets. You can also search for journeys between/in and buy tickets within the rest of Norrland counties with the app. Create an account in the app and you can use the features to the fullest and secure your tickets.
Searching and buying trips
You can search and buy tickets both for regional bus trips and city transport in Västerbotten, Norrbotten, Jämtland and Västernorrland. You can buy single tickets, period tickets and punch tickets.
Here's how:
- Go to "Search & buy" and specify which route the ticket should be valid between. You can either type in a stop, address, use your current location or move the cursor over the map to the desired stop.
- Choose your trip – the ticket is not linked to a specific departure, you can change your mind and use the ticket on another departure on the same route.
- Then click on "Select ticket and age". Choose the correct age category and number of tickets.
- Do you want a different ticket than a single ticket? Click on "Enkel" and then choose between punch (rabatt), period or the entire county (hela länet). When choosing a discount ticket – choose how many trips you want to buy, 6 or 10.
- Enter your preferred payment method, you can pay with Swish, debit/credit card or Klarna.
- Once you have selected the product you wish to buy, click on "Buy".
- Choose between activating the ticket immediately or activating the ticket manually at a later time. Activate your ticket when you are ready to use it! Otherwise, it is not valid. Remember that your days for the period ticket start as soon as you activate it. So wait to activate it until just before you get on the bus.
- Finally, to complete the purchase, drag the wallet icon over the text "slide to purchase"
Give away or lend a ticket to someone else
Only tickets that are not activated can be given away. If you have given the ticket away to someone else, you have transferred the ticket and cannot change your mind. In other words, you will not get a ticket that you have given away back. Activated period tickets (excluding 24&72h tickets) can be lent out and are then lent out until 04:00 the following day. The ticket will automatically return to the ticket owner at 04:00.
The recipient of the ticket must have an account.
Here's how:
- Select "My tickets".
- Tap the icon in the top right corner.
- Select "Give away ticket" or "Lend ticket".

Apart from departure and arrival times, you can also see bus positions, estimated time and possible disturbance information related to your journey.
