Stockholm bus system map
The bus map on this page covers the inner city, showing each line with its number and colour from Fridhemsplan and Odenplan to Slussen and Djurgården. Buses fill the gaps between metro stations and are often the most direct way to reach places such as Skansen, the Karolinska hospital or the cruise terminals.
SL buses come in two colours. Blue buses are the trunk lines, with frequent services on main corridors; inside the city, low numbers such as 1, 2, 3 and 4 cross the centre and are useful for sightseeing. Red buses are local lines and feeders to the metro and commuter trains in the suburbs. Board through the front door and tap your contactless card or SL card on the reader, because tickets cannot be bought with cash on board.
On weeknights, when the metro stops around 01:00, night buses take over on the main routes. The map you see here dates from before the 2017 fare reform, so it still shows the old zone letters; zones no longer apply, and line numbers can change, so check the SL app for current routes.
