No cash acceptance in Swedish buses

Who wants to travel to Sweden by bus on the road should be taken to make sure that nothing brings a cash.

before yesterday we had a surprise, unpleasant, unfortunately, by the way, when we wanted to take the bus from Skavsta Airport to Nykoping to bus station. The bus driver absolutely refused to accept my Swedish crowns. We should buy the tickets in the airport terminal. But where did the time? If we were not able to drive this bus, we would miss the connection with the Swebus towards Kalmar in the bus station. Julia, the manager of Red Haven Cottage in Ukna , waiting for us in Norrköping. The bus driver who spoke no English and had no desire to speak English, made clear to me that I could pay with a credit card. Since I have not used in years, my PIN, I forgot in the excitement, the correct code. Enraged, I wanted to get off the bus, as a friendly Swede offered us to pay for us with their bank card. I then gave her the cash. We were able to achieve even if scarce, yet the connection with the Swebus . When Swebus

repeated the story: the driver available on the bus no more tickets, you'd have it in the kiosk on the station premises purchased in advance. So we walked to the stand, while Swebus waited. The saleswoman there said it would not, at least five minutes before the bus arrival must have sold the tickets - otherwise only for the next trip, in an hour. In this situation, I felt restored to Germany, where regulations are taken very seriously - great! No friendly smile helped, not even the hint in Norrköping people would wait for us, which we continue to our destination.

If you are traveling by bus in Sweden, should be sure to book the ticket before you travel over the Internet and print or transmit to the mobile phone. Or have a credit card there.
