Travel app replaces train card
During autumn 2020, Länstrafiken in southern Sweden changed their system and adapt now to a new national ticket standard. This affect our travelling between Kalmar and Växjö and you only use the company app that is provided by Länstrafiken in Kalmar or SJ.
All members of staff who travel in work can easily download the app to their smartphone. In order to travel, you must book a ticket for each trip. You can book train + bus, that is to say, all the way from Kalmar C to Växjö campus (and the other way around), thus avoiding the extra travel card/bus card. The ticket can be booked in advance but must be activated shortly before embarking on the train or bus.
Please note that tickets purchased in the KLT app must be activated before boarding! As a traveler, you are responsible for being able to present a valid travel document. Read travel conditions in the app under More / Travel conditions. If the ticket is not activated, a fine of 1400 SEK will be issued.
Contact administrators at your faculty/department for acess to the customer service and for more information about the KLT app and SJ app.

FAQ – invoice questions (for administrators and managers)
Do I have to add all members of staff to the register?
Answer: All members of staff who need to travel should be added. It is possible to arrange a ticket yourself and then register this as a travel bill in Primula, but this involves additional administrative processing for both the traveler and his/her Primula administrator and manager. You can also add people on temporary employment to the register for a shorter period of time.
Should all members of staff confirm their trips?
Answer: No, individual trips do not require confirmation; it is the invoice data in its entirety that should be authorised for payment by each respective manager. Checks will be carried out on a continuous basis to ensure that only authorised people have the possibility to purchase trips via invoice.
How can I view the data for the travel destinations?
Answer: All trips that have taken place will be accounted for in our Kalmar Länstrafik business account.
How much work will this administration require?
Answer: Each respective faculty is responsible for handling their trips in the business account. Most likely, it is mainly the initial phase that will require time for administration, when all travelers are to be added to the app. Several administrators can be logged in to one account at the same time. Checks will be carried out on a continuous basis to ensure that only authorised staff has the right to purchase trips through invoice payment. The number of invoices for travel costs will be higher than before, but now the actual travel cost will be accounted for instead of like before when the cost has been divided through a flat-rate.
