2 Making life simpler. Imagine having just one card for your or the family s journeys. One card that is the same whether you are taking the train to Copenhagen or the bus into town. One that is simple to buy and that you can top up day or night. And one that is safe and convenient to use. Well you can get all of the above with the Travelcard (Resekortet). Easy and affordable. The Travelcard is the easiest and most affordable way to travel by our buses or trains. The Travelcard has two functions in one. If you travel frequently, we recommend the monthly option (Period) that gives you unlimited trips for 30 days on your select route. If you travel less frequently, pay-as-you-go (Reskassa) is the smartest choice. With this option, you add funds to your card and use it to pay the fare. You can travel by bus and train in great parts of South of Sweden, and you always receive a 20 % discount off the regular ticket price.

Autoload (Autoladda) is a service that automatically top up your Travelcard when the travel fund is empty or the Period has ended. 3 days before the Period has ended or your travel fund goes below the value that you have set, the Travelcard is automatically topped up. The Period or the travel fund are transferred to your card within 24 hours after your Autoload is done and it is downloaded to your card when you put it against a reader in Blekinge.
