Amount of compensation
Our minimum compensation amount is SEK 50, which means that you always get at least SEK 50. This also applies if the estimated compensation is less than SEK 50.
The rights of public transport passengers are found in Public Transport Passengers' Rights Act (2015:953), We have chosen to reimburse with more than what is required by law.
Reimbursement for travel with a single ticket
We will reimburse you for the entire single ticket price when you risk being more than 20 minutes late.
Reimbursement for travel with a season ticket
If you traveled with a season ticket, we calculate the value of the trip depending on what validity you have on the ticket and if you traveled by train or bus:
- Validity 24h: Ticket price divided by 2 plus SEK 50.
- Validity Flex 10/40: Ticket price divided by 20 plus SEK 50.
- Validity 30 days Off-peak: Ticket price divided into 36 for bus and 22 for train plus SEK 50.
- Validity 30 days: Ticket price divided into 36 for bus and 22 for train plus SEK 50.
Reimbursement for travel without a ticket
If you have planned to travel, but have not had time to buy a ticket and the bus or train has been delayed by at least 20 minutes or canceled, we will reimburse you with SEK 50.
Reimbursement for travel by taxi or own car
If you have chosen to take a taxi, we will reimburse you up to a maximum of SEK 1,433.
If you have chosen to complete the trip with your own car, we will reimburse you according to the Swedish Tax Agency's norm for tax-free mileage compensation, however, a maximum of SEK 1,433.

Taxi, own car or other transport
If you risk arriving more than 20 minutes late at your destination, you can choose to travel by taxi or your own car. You order the taxi yourself and send the original taxi receipt to us, marked with the six-digit case number you receive when you submit your application.
You also receive compensation for reasonable costs for travel with other transport.
-
Payment to bank account or Travel Credit
Compensation can be paid in the form of Travel Credit which you can then use as part payment for a season ticket.
It is also possible to have the compensation paid into your bank account. You can choose this option when you apply for compensation. If no payment option is chosen in your application, we pay the compensation as Travel Credit.
We use SUS (Swedbank's payment system) for payments to Swedish bank accounts and on payment notices. Your social security number is used to collect information about the account or payment address. You who request cash compensation from us need to join Swedbank's account register in order to quickly and smoothly get the money paid directly to a bank account. If you are not connected to the register, a payment notice will be sent to your population registration address, which may incur an additional cost.
